DavOr Churches and Catholic Schools Closed
All parishes and Catholic schools in Davao Oriental have been ordered to stop using their churches and buildings pending safety checks.
This decision comes after the magnitude 7.4 and 6.8 earthquakes that struck the area in October.
"I am directing all the parish priests and parish administrators, especially those that were badly hit by the earthquake, not to use the church buildings until we receive clearance from the competent and designated team from the province, city or municipal office declaring that the buildings are safe,"
Bishop Abel Apigo of Mati emphasized that safety is the top priority, as stated in a circular issued on Saturday.
Author's summary: DavOr churches and schools closed for safety checks.
