THE SANTISIMO Rosario Parish Church on Saturday, May 22 reopened its doors to the public for the first time since March at 30 percent capacity.
UST Parish Priest Fr. Paul Reagan Talavera confirmed the news to the Varsitarian, following the government pandemic task force’s directive to allow religious gatherings in Metro Manila at up to 30 percent of venue seating capacity.
“Reminder for all those who will attend mass to download the StaySafe app for contact tracing, wear face mask and face shield,” Talavera said.
Metro Manila is under general community quarantine with heightened restrictions until May 31.
The parish will hold morning daily Masses at 6:15 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., anticipated Masses on Saturdays at 4:00 p.m and 5:30 p.m., and Sunday Masses at 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Talavera said the parish would be strict in observing the 30-percent limit.
“Pag na-meet ‘yong 30 percent, they could wait for the next schedule of the mass,” he said.
The parish will continue livestreaming its Masses on Facebook. Rommel Bong R. Fuertes Jr.
