NOVEMBER 30, 2011 is a HOLIDAY

Bonifacio Day this year marks the 148th birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio, the supreme leader of the Katipunan movement that sought Philippine independence from Spanish colonial rule. 

But there would be no long weekend for this coming week to mark Bonifacio Day, according to Malacañang. 

Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte stressed this in response to several inquiries on whether the observance of Bonifacio Day on Nov. 30 will be moved to the nearest Monday.

According to Proclamation 84, series of 2010, Bonifacio Day will be marked on November 30, on a Wednesday, as the date falls. There will be no moving it to Monday.

Meanwhile, Valte said the Palace may soon issue a proclamation specifying the dates of holidays for 2012. “We will issue the proclamation as soon as it is signed by the president," she said.

Now, devotees and parishioners from all over the world need not come to the Philippines just to hear Mass in Quiapo Church, home of the centuries-old image of the Black Nazarene.
 
Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila, introduced the online streaming of its regular Masses, it was announced last Sunday by its rector, Msgr. Jose Clemente Ignacio.

The live streaming service was initiated following numerous requests from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), mostly devotees, who wanted to hear Mass but could not do so because of their circumstances.

The live streaming of the hourly Masses—through the church’s website www.quiapochurch.com 

Schedule on Fridays begins from 
4 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. 

and resumes at 

4 p.m. to 8 p.m. 

The Holy Hour or the Eucharistic adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, every Friday can also be viewed live. scheduled at 3 p.m.

WARNING: Attending Masses through live streaming should not be a substitute for attending Mass in person. “Catholics still have to go to Mass in their churches,” said Ignacio.  They are just offering this for those who can’t go to Mass due to their condition.

The Quiapo Church is the permanent dwelling of the 17th century life-sized icon of the Black Nazarene, which draws millions of devotees to a pilgrimage in Quiapo every year during its feast day.
