RE : FR. HECTOR’S FUNERAL AND PRESBYTERIUM MEETING
Reverend Fathers/Msgri:
Greetings!
The family of Fr. Hector has requested that the funeral be scheduled 40 days after his death. I have not seen any problem with this; thus, the funeral has been scheduled later than July 31 (which is the 40th day).
In line with this, I would like you to take note of the following dates:
July 2, 2021
- His remains will be at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, Valencia, Ormoc City and will stay there for 9 days, that is, until July 11. After which, the remains will be brought back to Kananga.
- The parish will be opened until 8:00 pm for those who want to visit.
- You may also coordinate with Fr. Mike Arevalo, parish priest, at 0917-720-0249 for the schedule of Masses.
August 2- 5, 2021
- His remains will be at San Jose Parish, San Jose, Tacloban City.
- Those who want to visit and offer mass may coordinate with Fr. Rey Jostol, the parish priest, for the details.
