– The Immaculate Conception Cathedral Parish here has started to prepare for its re-opening with the downgrading of its status to modified general community quarantine starting June 1.
As part of the new normal regulations inside the church, the parish will strictly prohibit touching or kissing religious statues, hand contact with anyone, and communion will only be accepted by hands. There will be no offertory processions, however, with collection bags only being left at the entrance for the donations and stewardship envelopes.
The “no face mask, no entry” policy and mandatory temperature checking will be implemented for those who will attend mass.Moreover, floors and seats were also marked to enforce physical distancing, and there will be ushers to assist church-goers from the entrance to their respective seats.Furthermore, the parish pleads to those who have medical conditions and showing symptoms of illness to just stay at home, and watch online streaming of the holy mass instead for the safety of everyone.
Philippines is proud of being the only Catholic dominated country in Asia. Then again pride is one of the 7 deadly sins. Let's hope we are exalted in the eyes of God each time we celebrate the mass. Each time we go to public during pandemic it is a gamble between life and death.
