Padre Pio Shrine ready for thousands of confessions during WACOM
Confession in different language The shrine rector added: “Priests will hear confession in different languages since international and local delegates are expected to come.” The shrine is hosting day 3 of WACOM 4 with the theme “The Church is a Forgiven and Forgiving Community: Celebrating God’s mercy to sinners”, which will highlight the Sacrament of Reconciliation. According to him, before this sudden demand, priests would come to the shrine to administer the Sacrament of Reconciliation to the devotees and pilgrims before the celebration of the Mass every ‘Padre Pio Day’, on the 23rd day, and every first and third Saturday of the month only. Along with the shrine rector and other guest priests, Pagcaliuangan also blessed a new driveway, named “Daan ng Poong Nazareno”, which leads to the new entrance and exit points from the shrine.
