OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE FILIPINO CATHOLIC MINISTRY OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE

Dear Friends and Families of the Filipino Catholic Ministry,

As we celebrate Simbang Gabi in Milwaukee, we look at the weather patterns daily to ensure the safety of those who travel and attend. It is our intention, from what we are hearing of the weather for Thursday, December 22 and Friday December, 23, to cancel Simbang Gabi to avoid injury and accidents for travelers.

Please feel free to find ways where you could continue the spiritual practice that you started during the Simbang Gabi by praying, spending time in silence, just being with your family, etc.

Thank you to all the Presiders, Sponsors, coordinators, choir leaders, musicians and members, families and friends who have gathered each night and spread the wonderful news of Simbang Gabi. You are all the very reason that Simbang Gabi continues and make our faith stronger.

On behalf of
Father Jojo Orosa
Cora Tulod
Jimmy Soriano
Angeli Varona Camara
Susan McNeil, Interim Director
Have a blessed Christmas! Maligayang Pasko
