In a letter to Priests, religious and Laity in the diocese, the Bishop said ” having prayerfully considered the implications of the risks to our expected crowded congregation on normal Easter Sunday celebrations, we hereby request you our priest and lay faithful to continue to keep to the CBCN and our diocesan pastoral directives/ guidelines for the celebration of holyweek including Easter Sunday till further notice”.
