MANILA—Pope Francis will lead the Filipino community in Italy in the quincentennial celebration of Christianity in the Philippines. Quoting Fr.

Ricky Gente of the Filipino Chaplaincy in Rome, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines said the celebration will be highlighted with a mass to be officiated by Francis at St. Peter's Basilica at 10 a.m. on March 14.

Also joining the mass are Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples; and Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, the pope's vicar for Rome. Only a limited number of people, however, will be allowed to attend the mass in person at the basilica due to COVID-19 restrictions.
