The Bikol Society in Austria has “introduced some changes” in the traditional celebration of the Feast of Our Lady of Penafrancia this month due to the threat of the coronavirus disease (COVID) pandemic.
“For those unable to attend, join us in prayer from 11 to 18 September 2020 at 18:00 and on 19 September 2020 at 11:00,” Marizel Rojas, President of the Bikol Society Austria encouraged the faithful to recite the traditional novena to Our Lady of Penafrancia.
Due to the CoViD-19 pandemic restrictions, there will be no Fluvial Procession on the Danube river.
“Novena prayers is available on the Bikol society website – www.bikolsociety-austria.org
Rojas encourages devotees from outside Vienna to attend the novena Masses aired through media and Internet.
We encourage those who cannot physically attend to join the livestream via FCC FB site (https://www.facebook.com/fccvienna) and use the attached Novenari. You can download the Novena here.
The cancellation of the festivities should inspire us to discover how our faith can lead us to be gentle and humble in receiving the grace of God in the face of this pandemic.
