Caceres archdiocese announces 2 priests test positive for COVID-19
The Archdiocese of Caceres in Camarines Sur suspended all "Pagsungko ni Ina" activities in all churches due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) threat.
This decision was made after two priests involved in the activity tested positive for Covid-19.
The "Pagsungko ni Ina" is an activity where the image of Our Lady of Peñafrancia visits parishes as part of the preparation for its feast.
The archdiocese urged the faithful to pray for God's mercy and protection through the intercession of Our Lady of Peñafrancia.
Previously, the archdiocese had already suspended the annual fluvial procession and 'traslacion' because of the pandemic.
