MANILA - Filipinos in Rome are excitedly awaiting the start of Simbang Gabi this year, as no less than the Pope will lead the celebration in the Vatican City - a first in history.

Pope Francis will officiate Simbang Gabi on December 15 at the St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican City, the first time a pontiff will celebrate Mass in the four years since the Filipino community there has held the midnight advent celebration.

Marivic Matira, a long-time member choir member in her community who was among 100 who turned up for the tryouts, said it would be her first time to sing at the Vatican, the seat of the Roman Catholic Church. "Isang magandang regalo sa'kin ito ng Diyos kung sakaling makasama ako rito sa simbang gabi coro,” she said.

"Siyempre excited. Siyempre napakahalaga po nun kasi minsan lang sa buhay na magkaroon ng panahon, na pagkakataon na makakanta sa Vatican, matagal ko nang hinahangad 'yun eh,” he said.
