YOUNG PROFESSIONALS TO CELEBRATE HOLIDAYS & CAMARADERIE WITH ANNUAL SIMBANG GABI

New York, NY - On Friday, December 11, 2009 at 6:30PM, friends, families and followers of Simbang Gabi are cordially invited to join the Filipino-American young professionals of the Tri-State area and the Philippine Consulate General New York as they celebrate their annual nine-evening "Simbang Gabi" masses at Kalayaan Hall of the Philippine Center.

Sponsored by the premier Filipino-American young professional organizations in New York City; namely, The Catholic Fellowship of Young Filipino Professionals, Collaborative Opportunities for Raising Empowerment, Inc. (CORE), Filipino American Human Services, Inc.

Patrick Longalong and music provided by the San Lorenzo Ruiz Chapel Choir. In keeping with this unique tradition, the host organizations will recreate the nativity scene in a short play during the Simbang Gabi. A light salu-salo (reception) will be served after the mass. This event draws between 150-175 guests every year, and serves as a great networking opportunity for all.
