Simbang Gabi Commissioning

Friday, December 11, 2026 at 6:00pm

Saint Cecilia's Church in San Francisco

The Filipino Ministry of the Archdiocese of San Francisco will host the Annual Simbang Gabi Commissioning Mass on Friday, December 11, at 6:00 PM at St. Cecilia Church in San Francisco.  The Holy Mass and Commissioning Rite will be presided over by the Most Reverend Bishop Andres (Andy) Ligot of the Diocese of San Jose, with Filipino priests from the Archdiocese of San Francisco concelebrating.     

This special Advent celebration is a time of joyful anticipation and spiritual renewal, inviting the faithful to deepen their journey of faith as they prepare their hearts for the coming of Christ at Christmas. Rooted in the themes of faith, hope, and sharing the light of Christ, this gathering reminds us of our call to be bearers of His love and light in our families, parishes, and communities. It is a prelude to the Simbang Gabi novena of Masses celebrated in many parishes starting on December 15.

During the liturgy, parish representatives, carrying their traditional parols (Filipino Christmas lanterns), will be commissioned to bring the spirit of Simbang Gabi into their respective parish communities. More than beautiful symbols of Filipino Christmas tradition, these radiant lanterns represent the light of Christ—the hope that guides us, the faith that sustains us, and the love we are called to share with others.

As we continue this cherished Filipino tradition, may the light of every parol inspire us to journey together in faith, proclaim the hope of Christ, and joyfully prepare our hearts to welcome the newborn Savior.

We are happy to share the wonderful news that our parish bathroom renovation project is now 65% complete!

Thanks to the continued support and generosity of our parish community, the bathrooms are being beautifully transformed with fresh designs, modern features, and thoughtfully updated elements. The renovations are also being designed with our future parish hall in mind, ensuring that these improvements will complement the new facility and help create a welcoming, comfortable, and cohesive space for our growing parish community.  Once completed, we'll have 8 stalls that include an ADA for the women's bathroom as well as 3 stalls that include an ADA and 3 urinals for the men's.

These improvements are more than just a renovation. They are part of our ongoing commitment to making our parish a place where everyone feels welcomed and at home.

The renovation is scheduled to be completed before the end of the year, and we look forward to sharing these beautiful new facilities with our parish family.

As we continue this journey of renewal, we are grateful for your patience, prayers, and continued support.

Thank you for being part of this wonderful investment in the future of our parish!

Also each Friday, from 4:30pm, there's an opportunity to celebrate the Sacrament of Confession.  Our  refurbished Confessional, provides the traditional screen that separates the priest confessor from the penitent as well as the option for a face to face confession. 

Thanks to Deacon Virgil and the Liturgical Arts for making this sacred space for spiritual healing and reconciliation.

Today's Catholic Parents express some misconceptions about the priesthood as a vocation for their son. We'll hear them say, "He's too young... He'll be lonely... I won't have grandchildren... He'll be unhappy... I'll lose my son...."

The ideal Catholic parent understands a simple truth: that God desires the child's happiness even more than any parent does. If one's son experiences a genuine call or interest to becoming a priest someday, trust in God's love for him.

Below is the link to the Resources of Parents that answers to common misconceptions about the priesthood.

As we come together in fellowship, it’s important that we also take responsibility for maintaining the cleanliness of our church environment. 

After each event, especially those involving food, please ensure that all trash—whether it be compost, recycling, or regular waste—is disposed of properly. 

Trash and compost bags must be tied securely and placed in the designated dumpsters before leaving.

Please also remember to take all trash with you and dispose of it properly when leaving the Church (e.g., paper, tissues, napkins, and water bottles).

By keeping our spaces clean and free from waste, we not only protect the health of our community by preventing pests, but we also avoid costly clean-up fees. Let’s all do our part to preserve the beauty, reverence and safety of our parish for everyone.

Thank you and may God bless you all for your cooperation!
