MANILA, Philippines – Expect the start of grand Mass in Luneta Park with Pope Francis to be reminiscent of the Sinulog Festival.

Fr. Carmelo Arada Jr. said the concluding Mass of Pope Francis in the Philippines on January 18 will fall on the Feast of the Sto. Niño and asked those who will hear Mass to bring images of the Sto. Niño and join the Sinulog dance.
