| Summary: | This paper investigates the shift from physical to virtual religious practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected how Filipino Catholics attend their daily masses, celebrations, and other sacraments and sacramentals. The researchers use expository writing and content analysis to analyze the collected data from documents discussing Filipino Catholic spirituality and religiosity and the transition from physical to virtual religious practices. First, we will discuss Filipino Catholic spirituality and religiosity. Second, we present the transition from physical to virtual Catholic religious practices. Lastly, we explain the possible effects of virtual religious practices on expressing religiosity and enriching the spirituality of Filipinos. Hence, this paper ends by stating that virtual religious practices do not have the same intimacy as physical religious practices but still help the faithful encounter God. |
