The Filipino Apostolate of the diocese has made St. Paul Parish as the host of the forthcoming Simbang Gabi Com- missioning on December 7, 2024 at the 4:00 PM Mass. We are honored to be chosen to host this religious event. The bishop celebrates the Holy Mass and commissions all the parishes of the diocese which are doing the traditional Filipi- no Simbang Gabi in December. The said parishes from all over the diocese will come to attend the commissioning. We are expecting to have 15-21 parishes with their representa- tives to come for the religious event. It would be a festive religious event. This is not only a Filipino event but it in- volves all of us parishioners of St. Paul Parish to once again prove how strong we as a parish community as we show our union and support to make this event successful. We ask your generosity to sponsor and make donations to have a decent reception dinner in the hall. We will post the menu sometime later and we ask you to donate financially to the food you want to sponsor. A family or a group of individuals or just an individual may sponsor a food of his or her or their own choice. Therefore, a food in the menu may be spon- sored by many different individuals, families or groups. After that we will use the money for catering the food in the menu. We want to let the parishes know that we are hospitable and generous parish though we are not that affluent compared to the surrounding parishes. We are rich in being a "one heart, one soul and one mind" parish.
