The pealing of bells in the country’s churches on Saturday will mark the start of the National Day of Prayer which     is the Catholic Church’s way       of commemorating the    first anniversary of the Typhoon Yolanda.

In a circular issued November 4, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) President Archbishop Socrates Villegas urged bishops and apostolic administrators to simultaneously ring the church bells at 6 p.m.
