Isabela prelature lights candles, rallies against RH bill

ISABELA City, Basilan, March 28, 2011—The prelature of Basilan held its protest against the reproductive health bill by lighting candles and doing the way of the cross.

Coinciding with the grand anti-RH bill rally in Manila on March 25, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, Basilan also organized a rally dubbed “Walk for Life through the Way of the Cross.”

Bishop Martin Jumoad presided over a concelebrated Mass with four other priests with hundreds of parishioners in attendance.

Immediately after the Mass,the Catholic faithful started their “Walk for Life Through the Way of the Cross” along the streets of the city.

People lighted candles after the final blessing and proceeded to the kissing of the Holy Cross. (Fr. Arnel A. Lagman)
