Priest continues to hold mass as super typhoon Rai batters church in the Philippines

A resilient priest continued to hold mass while super typhoon Rai lashed a church in the Philippines.

Reverend Father Jose Cecil Lobrigas stood behind the pulpit as violent winds whipped through the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Tagbilaran City in Bohol province on December 16. A handful of churchgoers were seen listening to the clergyman singing a religious song while the storm raged on.
