The University of Northeastern Philippines (UNEP) known for its deep-seated religiosity, will be holding another noteworthy celebration of faith this coming September. This will be graced by no less than Fr. Fernando Suarez, popularly dubbed as the healing priest.
Fr. Suarez will personally say a healing mass at the University’s gymnasium on September 22 at around 9:00 am. This is part of the series of healing masses that Fr. Suarez has lined up as part of his religious undertakings in the Bicol Region while sharing the gift of healing that the Almighty has blessed him with.
On the forefront of the preparation is UNEP’s energetic Executive Vice President, Ms. Deli Alfelor-Tibi, also concurrently holding the post as UNEP’s Vice President for Finance.
“We were overwhelmed with joy when Fr. Suarez granted our request to say a healing mass here at UNEP. Whatever pieces of good fortunes that we have now are blessings that we have to be grateful. We also would want to be healed with whatever shortcomings and afflictions that might be holding us back from giving the best of what we have, and this healing mass schedule came just on the conspicuous time that we will also be celebrating the feast of our beloved Ina,” Miss Deli said in an interview.
Miss Deli’s profound religious conviction, just like the rest of the members of the Alfelor family were taken from UNEP’s matriarch own rich spiritual upbringing. Dr.Remedios Rigoroso-Alfelor, fondly called Wawa by her family and friends, was able to share that unfathomable devotion, especially to the Blessed Virgen Mary.
Aside from saying his healing mass at UNEP, Fr. Suarez is also tentatively scheduled to visit Saints Philip and James Parish in San Felipe, Minalabac, Camarines Sur and the Diocese of Libmanan on September 21. On September 23, he is expected to visit and say a holy mass at the Divine World High School Gym in Legazpi City .
Fr. Suarez’ healing words have already opened various doors for the faithfuls and have enriched the lives of many. The numerous stories of his preaching miraculous, have not only influenced Filipinos but also other devotees from various parts of the world.
Before being assigned as priest of the Apostolic Vicariate of San Jose, in Occidental Mindoro, Philippines, Fr. Suarez was first ordained to the priesthood in Ottawa , Ontario , Canada in 2002.
With his heart full of overwhelming love for the poor, Fr. Suarez pursued the foundation that he has started way back his seminary years – the Mary Mother of the Poor (MMP) with a vision that it would serve the needs of the less fortunate.
With all the accolades attached to his healing words, the whole UNEP community is looking forward to this religious event with great anticipation while fervently hoping that the gift of healing will reach the hearts of every UNEPian.
I don’t believe that a person can heal others. I believe God heals. He uses people as instruments. I believe father Suarez is blessed by God like many other men with great faith but this thing should not be overrated.
