SIMBANG GABI in Monmouth County Parishes

Saint Michael’s Church will be host-

ing one of the nine Simbang Gabi

(Advent Night Masses) on Thursday,

December 21 at 7:30 PM, with a rec-

itation of the Rosary at 7:00 PM, and

light refreshments in the Lower

Church after the Mass. Simbang Ga-

bi, or “Mass of the Rooster,” is a tra-

dition held by the Filipinos to prepare for the birth of

Jesus. This tradition began in the mid-1600s in the

Philippines where church bells would start ringing as

early as 3:00 AM, awakening people for 4:00 AM

Mass, in order to allow farmers to attend Mass be-

fore going off to work in the fields in the early

morning hours. The Monmouth County Simbang

Gabi Community invites all to the 9-Day Simbang

Gabi in the following churches:

Dec. 15 - 7:30 p.m. - St. Joseph, Keyport

Dec. 16 - 7:30 p.m. - St. Mary of the Assumption Church, Deal

Dec. 17 - 7:30 p.m. - St. Clement Church, Matawan

Dec. 18 - 7:30 p.m. - St. James Church, Red Bank

Dec. 19 - 7:30 p.m. - St. Catherine of Siena, Farmingdale

Dec. 20 - 7:30 p.m. - St. Benedict Church, Holmdel

Dec. 21 - 7:30 p.m. - St. Michael’s Church, Long Branch

Dec. 22 - 7:30 p.m. - Holy Innocents Church, Neptune

Dec. 23 - 7:30 p.m. - St. Dorothea Church, Eatontown

On the final night of Simbang Gabi, there will be a

grand Christmas celebration in the Reception Hall of

St. Dorothea for refreshments. Please join us 30

minutes before every Mass for the Holy Rosary.

Christmas 2017 Worship Notes Christmas (a holy day of obligation) falls on a Sunday this year, so please take note of the following in chronological or-

der. It is necessary to attend TWO Masses in order to satisfy both the Sunday/Sabbath obligation and the Christmas holy day

obligation.

●Vigil Masses on Saturday, December 23 (4:00, 5:00, and 7:30) satisfy the Sunday/Sabbath obligation and do not satisfy

the Christmas obligation.

●Sunday Masses on December 24 at 7:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, and 12:00 noon satisfy the Sunday/Sabbath obligation and

do not satisfy the Christmas obligation.

●Christmas Vigil Masses on Sunday, December 24 at 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, 7:30, 9:00 and 11:00 satisfy the Christmas

obligation and do not satisfy the Sunday/Sabbath obligation.

●For example, if one goes to the Saturday, December 23 Mass at 4:00 and the Sunday, December 24 Mass at 4:00, then

that person has satisfied the Sunday/Sabbath obligation and the Christmas holy day obligation.

●For example, if one goes to the Sunday, December 24 Mass at 4:00 and to no other Mass on Sunday morning the 24th

nor to a Vigil Mass on Saturday the 23rd, then that person has satisfied the Christmas obligation but not the Sunday /Sabbath

obligation and that person should go to Confession as soon as possible thereafter.

●The Christmas obligation and the Sunday/Sabbath obligation are two separate obligations.

●Since the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God on Monday January 1, 2018 is not a holy day of obligation this coming

year, our Sunday evening Masses on Sunday, December 31, 2017 at 4:00 and 7:30 will be Sunday Masses satisfying the

Sunday obligation and not holy day Vigil Masses. We will however have two Masses on Monday, January 1, 2018: at 8:00

A.M. as usual and also at 12:00 Noon. There will be no 7:00 P.M. Mass on Monday, January 1, 2018.

●There will be no scheduled Confessions prior to the Christmas Eve Vigil Masses, Christmas Day Masses, and January 1

Masses. If a special need for Confession occurs on those dates, arrangements can be made by contacting Fr. Butler, Fr. Nillo,

or any one of our visiting priests. Please consult the bulletin for special extra times for Confession during the Advent Season.

St. Vincent de Paul Society

This weekend your St. Vincent de Paul Society packed

groceries for over 110 families. The bags were bulging

with fresh produce, canned items, detergent for all and a

turkey. We also collected $4,208.36 in monetary dona-

tions. A lot of people came out to volunteer this month,

including a brownie scout troop. They were a great help,

especially in bagging all the vegetables.

A special thank you to our youth group! They filled three

huge box-loads of donations that were shipped to the vic-

tims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. They made pre-filled

bags of soap, toothpaste, washcloths, razors, shampoo for

both adults and children. Included were individual notes

to the recipients wishing them hope. The items were sent

to St. Vincent de Paul in Austin, Texas for distribution to

the shelters that people were staying in.

Our cupboards are bare and we will take any non-

perishable food, especially cereal, fruit and canned

vegetables. Detergent and paper items will be greatly

appreciated. We are collecting gift cards to the local

grocery stores as well as gift cards to stores such as K-

Mart, J C Penny, Target, etc. Please place the cards in

the collection basket in an envelope marked SVDP.

The earlier these donations come in, the sooner we

will know what we have to distribute. Thank-you for

your generosity,

Thank you for your generosity!
