Simbang Gabi is a Philippine spiritual tradition of celebrating Advent with evening masses to heighten the celebration of the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ.
The Mission of our Ministry is to promote the vision of our parish as an inclusive family in a caring faith community, by strengthening the unity among all cultural groups through prayer, hospitality, and service.
Our parish activities include the planning and coordination of the annual Simbang Gabi Mass with reception in December and the San Lorenzo Ruiz Mass in September.
Our outreach service activities include visiting centers like the International Drop-In Center (IDIC), where seniors drop-in for social activities and medical check-ups.
