Healing Mass for showbiz

MANILA, Philippines – Professional Artist Managers, Inc. (PAMI) is organizing a healing Mass on June 16, 7 p.m. at Father Estioko Hall, Christ The King Mission Seminary, 101 E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave., Quezon City.

Healing priests Fr. Joey Faller and Fr. Glenn Gomez have been invited to officiate the ceremony.

Said June Torrejon-Rufino, PAMI president: “We are all aware of the current problems besetting the entire world. To name some: The economic recession, the recent Air France crash, the North Korea nuclear threat and the swine flu epidemic, which has already affected some of our fellow Filipinos.

“Even our local entertainment industry is getting its share of trails: The video scandal, Ted Failon’s family crisis, the current state of our movie industry, rampant unemployment, the unending fight against film piracy and the sudden illnesses of some of our peers, like former Sen. Ramon Revilla and former President Corazon Aquino.

“Let us not forget the recent deaths of beloved colleagues Francis Magalona, Tita Muñoz and Paraluman.

“It is in this regard that we, the officers and members of PAMI, request all of our brothers and sisters in the local entertainment industry to attend this healing Mass, so we call all together on God to heal us both spiritually and physically, because we believe that with Him, in Him, nothing is impossible.”
