Dear Simbang Gabi beautiful people, 
We are sorry that we have not been available the last few years to help out with anything. Our hope is to be more involved next time. See you at Mass, but unfortunately, we need to leave before salu-salo.  We hope you get a lot of helping hands today.  Many thanks for all that you are doing.  

Katie & John

Tables were not set up in the social hall as requested. We need all hands on deck to put tables and chairs out.

Hello, SG Kapamilya,

Kumusta? I hope you were able to get some rest from all the prep and celebration of our Pinoy Advent tradition of Simbang Gabi!!! After lay presiding at both masses I have a better sense of what priests go through during weekend liturgical celebrations. 

I'm so, so appreciative of what each of YOU did to pull this year's celebration!!! I'm sure you heard people's appreciation of this very successful celebration!!! I want you to know how much I truly, truly appreciate each and everyone of YOU!!! The past few years have been very challenging - life, in general - but also in our spiritual family. Somehow, last Sunday's celebration (for me) was a real celebration of who we are, what we bring and how receptive our community is.

Kudos to Jen M, Josie M and Gloria O and their families for stepping in to cover all fronts and bring this celebration to life!!! Let's continue to spread the good news and invite folx to our spiritual community! As Fr.Phil said some Sundays ago: let the secret out! let the secret be known of this spiritual family in the Madrona neighborhood that is a source of love, joy and life!

Again, Dios ti ag-ngina (Ilokano meaning Thank you!)

All the best in this season of Advent!

Much, much love,

💝 Mercy

p.s. happy trails for those of us travelling this holiday season 💝

p.s. happy tra

Narambak nga baro a tawen, SG kapamilya!

I hope your holidays were not too hectic!

I’m reaching out to set a date for our debrief and plan for 2025. I was thinking of having a potluck lunch at the parish center after the 11 am service. OR if you want to experience the facilities at our north campus (St. Joe’s) - do let me know and I”ll try to reach out for the availability of space there.

I am always happy to hear from you so please chime in!

Maraming salamat, Eloisa, Roger and family!


Blessings,

💝 Mercy
