Ozamiz Archbishop Martin Jumoad slammed the incident that he described as a called “grave act of sacrilege” against a sacred object intended for the sanctification of the faithful.

Jumoad said the closure is in line with Church law and it is also a liturgical and pastoral response meant to foster repentance and communal reparation.
