The Simbang Gabi Advent Masses and celebrations have been a long standing tradition in the Diocese of Arlington with the blessings and support of our Bishop Paul S. Loverde. Numerous area parishes along with their respective Filipino Communities host a series of Masses during Advent leading up to Christmas Eve.
In 2013, Bishop Loverde was the celebrant for the Final Simbang Gabi mass at Christ the Redeemer, where we were honored to host him afterwards for a reception featuring Filipino ethnic foods and desserts, entertainment, and various holiday raffle items.
This year, Christ the Redeemer has the distinction of hosting the First Simbang Gabi Mass. The mass begins at 7:30 PM in the Church and is followed by a reception in Atonement Hall. The Mass is mostly in English, with Filipino Music.
All are invited to attend this Community Event. The event is FREE.
