Simbang Gabi

St. Bernadette will host the 4th night of the Novena of Simbang Gabi on December 18.  Eucharistic Mass will begin at 7:00 p.m.  This Filipino celebration has been held in the Southwest Side for 21 years.  Simbang Gabi is a grace-filled and joyful celebration in preparation for the birth of Jesus.  It is one of the longest and most popular celebrations among the Filipino traditions in the Philippines, when Catholic churches across the nation start to open their doors shortly before the break of dawn to welcome the faithful to the nine consecutive daily Masses before Christmas.  We cordially invite our parishioners and friends to attend this joyful event.
