LIST: Churches in Metro Manila Holding Masses Online
As a predominantly Catholic country, Filipinos are known to be devoted to their faith. One of the many ways they show this devotion is going to church every Sunday with their families to attend mass.
However, with the enhanced community quarantine still effect in Luzon and other places in the country, social activities and gatherings have been discouraged including masses and worship services.
The church, with the help of technology, has responded by live-streaming their holy masses online. Listed below are just some of them.

For the complete list of Catholic churches holding online masses, check out Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines News website.
In a pastoral instruction, Manila administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo gave ways to make the most of attending online masses:
- Prepare yourself by reading mass readings before the mass to hear them better once they are proclaimed
- Think of what you want to thank the Lord for and what to offer Him during the Mass
- Remember that you are praying the Eucharist with fellow Catholics not only in your parish but all over the world
- Stay in a reverent gesture throughout the Mass, standing or sitting up properly
- Do not just watch the Mass, join in it with your prayers, responses, and singing
- At the time of communion, make spiritual communion.
