Holy Week 2020: Online Masses and Services to Celebrate at Home

Holy Week is one of the most awaited time of the year for Catholics to show their devotion and faith. However, due to the current global health condition, holy masses and other traditions related to Holy Week will not push through this year for the safety of everyone.

In relation to this, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has released a circular containing recommendations on how to observe Holy Week at home. One of which is for every diocese to live stream their Holy Week celebrations.

“It is beneficial for the people to follow the live streaming of the celebrations … The online celebrations should also aim at generating an affinity of the faithful to the local Church,” said CBCP in the circular.

Here are just some of the churches that will be live streaming their Holy Week services online.
