Abstract

Spirituality plays a big role in the life of many people. In this time of COVID-19 pandemic, with all the restrictions in social gatherings for health security purposes, the physical attendance to the celebration of the Eucharist has been impeded, thus, the spiritual nourishment of the people was left unaided. Despite the crisis the world is facing, the Catholic Church made use of different social media platforms to continue the spiritual nourishment of the faithful by live streaming the Eucharistic celebration. This study aims to understand the spiritual well-being of the Catholic faithful of San Isidro Labrador Parish, Cuenca, Batangas, and how online Eucharistic celebrations help their spiritual well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the Spiritual Health and Life-Orientation Measure (SHALOM) of John Fisher, results have shown that there is no dissonance between the ideals and lived-experience/feelings of the participants, which may be attributed to the purposive and massive effect/help of the online Eucharistic celebrations provided by the Catholic Church.
