A Holy Mass was offered yesterday at the main chapel of the Pontificio Collegio Filippino for the hapless victims of the recent typhoon Reming in the Philippines. Msgr. Stude Santos, the PCF Rector and the Conferenza Episcopali Italiani - National Coordinator for Filipino Migrants, was the main celebrant and preacher. He emphasized in his homily that Filipino migrants in Rome are capable of doing these 3 P's: Panalangin, Pag-asa, Panustus. Representatives from the Philippine Embassy to the Holy See and from the Philippine Embassy to the Italian Government joined a good number of religious sisters and members of Filipino communities in offering this Holy Mass. The PCF Coordinator thanked everyone who came to manifest their oneness with the suffering fellow Filipinos at home. After the celebration, the usual "lugaw" was served to all.
The amount collected reached 500 euro, and would be sent to the Bishop of Legazpi, Nestor Carino whose Diocese was the affected place.
