Simbang Gabi with MJ

The traditional simbang gabi in St. Joseph the Worker Church (SJWC) began last December 15, 2007 at 8:30 in the evening. Around 2000 faithful gather in the site where we are building the church. Fr. Nolly, our parish priest, asked the help of the Missionaries of Jesus (MJ) to assist in the simbang gabi in the different chapels of our parish. We are very thankful that the MJ was assigned in our community.

MJ is a group of priest-missionaries, an international and multicultural religious missionary community founded in the Philippines on 2002. Fr. Joel, Fr. Freddie, Fr. Eugene and Fr. Luke have been assisting our parish since the turn over to the Diocesean Priests (we were formerly under the SVD). MJ believe that the inculturation of the Gospel is a mutual enrichment and critical interaction between faith and culture. Maraming Salamat sa MJ!
