Bishops urged to raise money for Christians in Syria, Iraq

Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) President and Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas is urging all Filipino bishops to take up collections that will be donated to the Christians who are reportedly suffering in Iraq and Syria.

According to Villegas, the collections that will be gathered from Church goers will be sent to the CBCP “that will see to their remittance to the ecclesiastical jurisdictions of Syria and Iraq.”
