Cebu City Acting Mayor Michael Rama has already said the city will keep cemeteries open on November 1 and 2 for vaccinated individuals only, despite the pronouncement of the Interagency Task Force that all cemeteries will be closed from October 29 to November 1, 2021. The parishes have been instructed to follow the recently released guidelines of the city government especially on allowing only vaccinated individuals on November 1 and 2, 2021.
This was done in 2020 where priests with a few lay ministers and altar servers were allowed to hold mass inside the cemeteries broadcasting this online. Some parishes will be giving out numbers to every individual who will enter the cemetery upon checking or even temporarily surrendering their vaccination cards so that the number of individuals will be strictly monitored.
In fact, according to Church teachings, the best way to celebrate All Saints’ and Souls’ Day is to pray and hear mass if they can.
