An urgent message from the office of Ambassador Mercedes Tuason in the Vatican urged Filipino priests and bishops going to Rome for the canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod to e-mail or SMS her assistant, Josie Bantug ([email protected]; tel. +393296856458) if they would want to concelebrate with Pope Benedict XVI or distribute Holy Communion during the Canonization Mass on Oct. 21 at St. Peter’s Square.
Blessed Pedro Calungsod will be canonized in Rome on Oct. 21 with six others, mostly founders of religious orders, and Blessed Kateri, set to become the first American-Indian saint.
More than a thousand pilgrims have signed up for various package tours organized to coincide with the canonization rites that will make Blessed Pedro Calungsod a saint. The special event happens in Rome on Oct. 21 with open-air ceremonies in the square fronting St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican City, presided by Pope Benedict XVI.
