SIMBANG GABI December 15-23 at 6:30pm
Join us and our Filipino Community in celebrating 9- day Novena Masses as we prepare ourselves and our Church for Christmas - which starts tomorrow evening December 15 and continues thru December 23 at 6:30pm every night. During mass, the Filipino Choir will fill the church with Filipino Christmas songs and carols. After every Mass, the faithful gather for food and fellowship.
We welcome your support and attendance at Simbang Gabi. Please invite your family and friends to all nine days. We pray that, this second annual Simbang Gabi novena masses at Church of the Assumption will be a memorable celebration of Christ’s birth.
Simbang Gabi is a pre-dawn celebration of the Mass observed by Filipinos for centuries to affirm their faith. This tradition dates to 1587, when the Spanish conquistadores introduced the practice to symbolize the birth of Jesus Christ. Ringing church bells, singing Filipino Christmas carols, and displaying the starshaped parol lantern signal the start of the pre-dawn celebration among Filipinos. The farmers and fishermen took time to hear the Gospel and asked for a good harvest from the fields or a good catch while at sea before they head to work.
In San Leandro, there are no fields to till or sea to catch fish, but former Filipino immigrants in San Leandro still attend Simbang Gabi. To many, Simbang Gabi is an opportunity to open and prepare their hearts as the manger where Jesus would be born.
It is such an amazing grace and blessing that Filipino parishioners who originated from different regions of the Philippines and speak different languages and dialects work together and speak the word of LOVE—God’s word. Members of the group assist one another: they are dedicated to support the mission of Church of the Assumption, that is, to see Christ in each person.
