GMA Network to live stream Misa de Gallo and Christmas Eve masses on Facebook
Although Christmas celebrations will be different this year, its essence remains unchanged.
This is true especially for the much-anticipated Simbang Gabi or Misa de Gallo.
And GMA Network is one in keeping the joyous but solemn tradition alive by bringing the Misa de Gallo closer to every home this Christmas season.
In partnership with the Diocesan Shrine of Jesus the Divine Word, the public can catch the nine-day Misa de Gallo from December 16 to 24, every 4:30 A.M., live via the Facebook page of GMA Network.
Families can also gather around to catch the Christmas Eve mass on December 24 to be live-streamed on the same platform at 8:00 P.M.
The Online Misa De Gallo 2020 aims to encourage people to stay home to minimize the risk of catching or spreading COVID-19 while providing them access to hear the Eucharistic celebrations.
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) had earlier stated that while church masses will be held, the number of attendees will be limited in line with health protocols.
With that said, the CBCP is advising the public to hear the masses online instead to avoid inconveniences and the probability of catching the virus.
