His remains will be transferred to the St. Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral Monday evening where a vigil will be held following the regular diocesan clergy meeting.

On Tuesday, Bishop Julito Cortes will lead the concelebrated mass with the Dumaguete clergy before the remains of the late Fr. Hisona will be brought to his hometown of Basay, Negros Oriental.

Fr. Hisona will be laid to rest on July 27 with Bishop Cortes officiating the funeral mass. (PNA)
