Tapping into greener power, a popular Catholic shrine in Manila is taking steps toward becoming the first church in the Philippine capital to be completely solar-powered.
The National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, a shrine operated by the Redemptorists, will be installing solar panels in the coming months.
Brother Ciriaco Santiago, head of the congregation’s Commission on Social Mission Apostolate, said the project is a “step toward becoming a green church.”
The religious community approved to use the church’s roof to generate electricity for the shrine, including its offices and other facilities.
“It would take at least three months to finish the installation, but the target is to complete it within the year,” Brother Santiago told ucanews.com.
