A special aspect of Advent
is the Simbang Gabi
Novena shared by the
parishes in our central San
Mateo Deanery.
The Opening Mass will be on
Sunday, December 15, 7:00 PM
at St. Gregory Church, San
Mateo. The fifth
evening of the Novena on
Thursday, December 19, will
be here at St. Catherine of
Siena Church. The
Novena is a beautiful way of
preparing Christmas.
Do remember that the
solemn feast of the
Immaculate Conception
is transferred to
Monday, December 9. It is a
Holy Day of Obligation.
