Catholic On Yap

Please join us this Friday evening for the Vicariate memorial mass for Fr. John H., to be held at St. Mary Church starting at 5:00 PM. We hope that many people from across the island can join us in prayer for Fr. John, as he returns to the God whom he served with such love and devotion.

Please pray for the soul of Fr. John Hagileiram, SJ, who died last evening in Quezon City, P.I. Fr. John requested to be buried there in the Philippines, but the Vicariate of Yap will have memorial Mass for him some time after Easter.

Bishop Julio has issued new guidelines for the celebration of our liturgies from Palm Sunday to Easter. These changes will be announced at the Sunday masses, and the priest-celebrants for mass well be available to answer any further questions you may have.
