CBCP urges bishops to join Triduum for Pope visit

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas urged Philippine archbishops and bishops to join the Triduum or the three-day prayer for the spiritual preparation of the Catholic faithful for the forthcoming visit of Pope Francis.

“We kindly request the Most Reverend Archbishops and Bishops to avail of this Triduum to raise awareness among our Catholic faithful of the repeated appeal of Pope Francis for mercy and compassion,” Villegas, the president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), said.
