CEBU CITY — At least 3,000 priests from all over the country will gather in Cebu in November this year for the 'National Retreat for Priests' organized by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). The three-day event which starts on November 7 will be held at the IEC Convention Center in Cebu City. The gathering, which carries the theme 'Priesthood: A Call for Holiness,' will also bring priests to different shrines and churches in Cebu. Msgr. Cesar Vergara, chairperson of the CBCP Episcopal Commission on the Clergy, said the retreat is the biggest gathering of priests in the Philippines which was supposed to be held in time for 500 years of Christianity, but the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the event.
