Simbang Gabi 2025
Simbang Gabi: Principal Preachers:
Fr Emerson Nazareth & Fr Kim Joshua Bibon
Fr Eso is from the Archdiocese of Maasin, Leyte and Fr Kim is from Archdiocese of Manila. We invite you to join us in a special Novena of Masses from 15 to 23 December 2025, celebrated every night at 18h30.
Known as ‘Simbang Gabi’ (meaning “Church-going at Night”), this is a much-loved Filipino custom that we are delighted to host at St John XXIII. Come, join our Filipino community in these celebrations! Mass will be celebrated in English & a wee taste of Tagalog, no doubt! The music for the Mass will be in Tagalog and English. On our final night 23rd of December, there will be a sharing of Filipino foods in the parish hall with a glass of Vin chaud.
