“I am inviting all of you to take part in the Walk for Life this year online,” Archdiocese of Manila Apostolic Administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo, chairman of the said CBCP commission, told Church-run Radio Veritas, Thursday.
The church will continue to stand for the sacredness of human life; we will oppose life-threatening bills” he added.
The event has two parts. The first part is the Dance Production, portraying various expressions of value and reverence for life.
The second part will be an anticipated Eucharistic Celebration to be officiated by Bishop Pabillo at the Santissimo Rosario Parish, University of Santo Tomas in Manila.
