Simbang Gabi (St. Raymond, Dublin) Dec 16, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Simbang Gabi (Tagalog: [sɪmˌbaŋ ɡɐˈbi]; Filipino for “Night Mass”) is a devotional, nine-day series of Masses attended by Filipino Catholics in anticipation of Christmas. It is similar to the nine dawn Masses leading to Christmas Eve practiced in Puerto Rico called Misa de Aguinaldo. Originally intended as a practical compromise for farmers that started working in the fields before sunrise, this cherished Christmas custom eventually became a distinct feature of Philippine culture and became a symbol of sharing.

Join us at St. Raymond Church as we celebrate this tradition with Mass at 5:30 AM and fellowship e=immediately following each Mass.
