CELEBRATING

Simbang Gabi is a Filipino is a tradition that honors the Blessed Mother in the days leading up to Christmas.

As part of the celebration at St. Ignatius, the 2nd grade students processed into Mass carrying “parols”. These are traditional Filipino Christmas lanterns that decorates many Filipino homes during Christmas. The belief is that the parol symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem that guided the Three Kings to the manger where Christ was born.
