MANILA— Filipinos abroad, who would like to offer mass or prayers for their dearly departed, may do so even after the observance of All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day on November 1 and 2, respectively, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said Wednesday.
According to Msgr. Pedro Quitorio, CBCP Media Office director, Filipinos in other parts of the world may request for mass or prayers for their deceased loved ones thru their “Undas Online”.
One simply needs to visit the website, click the “Prayer Request” and then list down the names of their beloved dead for whom they wish to offer Mass.
“Yes, pwede sila magpadala ng request kahit tapos na ang Undas. They can submit the names of their departed loved ones to be included in the masses,” the Catholic priest said.
Masses will be held at the CBCP chapel in Intramuros, Manila starting Wednesday.
For those who wish to share their blessings, they may click a donate button to make a donation or give Mass stipends which will be given to the priests who will be celebrating the masses.
But, Quitorio stressed that this is not obligatory.
The Undas Online website also offers prayers and catechesis on the significance and liturgical meaning of the celebration of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day among others.
The CBCP Media Office launched the project in 2011.
