Cardinal Stephen CHOW Sau-yan has urged Catholic parishes to offer Mass for those killed in the Wang Fuk Court fire on November 26, the first anniversary of the blaze. He also called for prayers for the dead and their families at subsequent Sunday Masses.
Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Tai Po had planned a November 15 Mass commemorating the fire and praying for the dead, injured and affected relatives. The parish changed it to a Mass remembering people who had died that year.
A parishioner and former online host told HK01 that the parish received police inquiries twice after announcing the memorial.
In Wan Chai, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church planned an afternoon Mass for the anniversary.
