Simbang Gabi in Singapore

December 16, 2006

 Just like in the Philippines, Filipinos worldwide celebrate simbang gabi by holding mass. In SIngapore however instead of the early morning mass,it is held at 8pm and in several churches in Singapore.

Each church in Singapore has a Filipino Community who sponsors the mass. Fellowships after the mass usually is having dinner with food prepared by different committee members. The feast usually consists of the perenial favorites: spaghetti,Pancit,(Sometimes palabok) and arroz caldo.

Yesterday December 16,at 8pm  marked the first day of  simbang gabi at Saint Anthony church in Woodlands.

It has been a yearly tradition for us as a family to attend this mass. However this year we wont be able to attend the mass in Singapore since we will be flying off  to Cebu on 17th December.

   The church was jampacked to the rafters(which rarely happens in this church). The food overflowed and everyones favorite arroz caldo was prepared by Father Angels "St Michael Church" angels.
