Colombo: Sri Lanka’s Catholic Church on Thursday announced that all the Catholic schools will reopen next week while mass services would resume from Sunday depending on the country’s security situation after the Easter bombings that killed 258 people.

The schools were shutdown and public mass services were suspended following fears of a repeat of the April 21 attacks on three churches and three luxury hotels here. Archbishop of Colombo Cardinal Malclom Ranjith in a press conference said that Catholic private schools might be opened on May 14. However, he said these schools would be closed till Vesak Holidays, if there are fresh threats, the Daily Mirror reported. (PTI)
