                    [Summary] => Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales has issued a decree prohibiting the collection of fees from children receiving First Communion in public schools.


The cardinal directed all parishes to provide expenses for the communion of students or tap organizations to raise funds for the purpose.


In a circular addressed to all parish priests, Rosales said that while the purpose of collecting fees may be valid, it might put the Catholic Church in a bad light because the Department of  Education prohibits any form of collection from public school students.
