MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Diocese of Borongan on Friday requested its parish priests, particularly those in San Julian and Arteche, and chaplaincies to conduct donation campaigns for victims of Typhoon “Ursula” (Phanfone).<\/p>\n

\u201cIn solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the diocese who were severely affected by the recent Typhoon Ursula. I would like to request that you conduct a Donations Campaign (in-cash and in-kind) in your respective parishes\/chaplaincies,\u201d said Bishop Crispin Varquez in a circular.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe said donations can either be forwarded as soon as possible to our Diocesan Curia for distribution to our center of southern region parishes that were badly affected by the typhoon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Catholic prelate said the parishes can also distribute the donations themselves together with their parishioners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn case you opt to distribute the donations yourselves, please coordinate with the respective parish priests,\u201d Varquez said.<\/p>\n

He also informed them that the Diocesan Commission on Social Action-Justice and Peace is currently conducting post-calamity interventions.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the head of the Borongan Diocese urged \u201cto include in their prayers and masses the souls of those who died, the safety of those still missing, the healing of those who were wounded, and the immediate recovery of those who were affected\u201d.
\n\u201cTogether let us entrust to Our Lady, the patroness of the diocese, all our own spiritual, and material needs; as we also include in our prayers and acts of mercy those outside the diocese who were affected by the recent calamity,\u201d he added.
\nMeanwhile, Pope Francis on Thursday prayed for the people of the Philippines, who were hit by the typhoon on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI join in the pain that hit the dear population of the Philippines because of the typhoon Phanfone,\u201d the pope said Dec. 26, at the end of his Angelus address, according to an article posted on the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) news website.<\/p>\n

The Holy Father also invited the 25,000 people present in St. Peter\u2019s Square to pray a Hail Mary for the Filipino people, \u201cwhom I love so much\u201d.<\/p>\n

The typhoon struck Eastern and Western Visayas and southern Luzon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
