In the Rogationist formation houses of St. Matthew Province, singing Christmas carols in homes has now become a tradition. Originally intended to gather funds for the apostolate of the community, this activity has been transformed into a means of evangelization, that is, a fitting occasion to announce the good news of the incarnation of the Son of God. Groups of seminarians and religious students sing in houses with selection songs that tell the story of the history of salvation. During the pandemic, the carols were held online.

(Dec. 18) In Rogationist Communities, Christmas is linked to “Sharing”, referring to the sharing of graces, joys, and gifts to those who have less.
In the Seminary in Manila, now in its 36th-year edition, the children who attend the Sunday catechesis conclude the year with the closing Mass, Christmas party, and the receiving of gifts for the family Christmas meal. Funds for this project comes from the donation collected in the singing of Christmas carols in houses of benefactors and donors.

(Dec. 16) Students, teachers, and the whole educational community of the Rogationist College in Cavite gathered at 4.30 AM, for the first day of traditional Christmas Novena Masses. Called "Misa de Gallo" because it is celebrated at the break of the cock's crow in early dawn, it is also referred to as "Misa de Aguinaldo" which is a thanksgiving for the graces received from God. This time-honored devotional practice of the Filipino people resonates with the Christmas Novena handed down by St. Hannibal Mary to his spiritual Children.
