Our prayers and sympathies go out to the victims of yesterday’s bombing in Cotabato City’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Muslim extremists are said to be behind this cowardly act of violence in Mindanao.
Hundreds of churchgoers remained inside the cathedral after the powerful explosion, praying even more fervently for “peace.” The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said that Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Quevedo was delivering his homily when the incident occurred, causing panic among churchgoers.
Read the whole story here. Philippine Aid Society will establish a fund for the purpose of making a donation to the Cathedral to help rebuild the damage there. If you’d like to make a designated donation for this cause, you may do so here. Please indicate that you would like this donation to go to the Cotabato cathedral.
