Our First Simbang Gabi was held last night at Christ The King Church and was followed by a taste of Filipino dishes, like Puto-bungbung, Bibingka, Dinuguan, Hot pandesal with star margarine and lots more. Many Filipino families and guests witness the First Mass. The Simbang Gabi masses will be moving around six churches of Jacksonville, Florida and will end on the 24th back at Christ The King Church.
Msgr. Rudy Villanueva from the Archdiocese of Cebu. was our main Guest and celebrant of all our "Simbang Gabi" Masses. A nine day novena before the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
