Simbang Gabi Mass with Cardinal McElroy in Escondido

The entire Catholic community is invited to this Mass, to be celebrated by Cardinal Robert W. McElroy. The Mass is a holiday tradition among Filipino Catholics, and invites Filipino faithful and clergy from across the diocese.  The Mass features a procession of star-shaped lanterns that symbolically light the way to Christ as they accompanied Mary awaiting the birth of our Savior.

The San Diego Diocesan Commission for Filipino Catholics is organizing the fifth annual Mass, which serves as a commissioning for the faithful, who then return to their parishes for their own Simbang Gabi celebrations.
