Masses won’t be held this Saturday and Sunday

Sunday masses in the Colombo Archdiocese have been cancelled due to security concerns, the Archbishop’s House said today.

The Archdiocese of Colombo Spokesman Fr. Edmond Tilakaratne said a fresh decision was made by Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith to cancel the masses next Saturday and Sunday due to security reasons.

He said the Catholic Church will issue a further notice on the masses later.

The Cardinal had earlier instructed the churches to have a limited number of masses next Sunday May 5, 2019 but not to have evening services.

The churches in Colombo and suburbs have been closed since the Easter Sunday bomb attacks. (Yohan Perera)
