A Tradition from the Philippines

Fr. Ipzum who writes to us from Iloilo City, Philippines, shares:

"The Traditional Noche Buena here in the Philippines. We do it after attending the Midnight Mass of December 24. This is not just an ordinary gathering for more than the sumptuous food, is a heart-warming reunion of families."

We have a large Filipino population active in our parish. If you have anything to share on how you celebrate Noche Buena, feel free to submit it to the form or comment below!

  1. After every Misa de Gallo (Dawn Mass) within our traditional Christmas Novena, every mass attendee looks forward to an early breakfast of bibingka and puto bumbong (warm and sweet desserts made of rice with grated coconut and brown sugar as garnishing sometimes with salted egg on top). The Misa de Gallo experience is incomplete without these staple Filipino delicacies.
