E-mail from Ma'am Aurora "Au" Lopez of Pasadena, Calif., USA: "Mr. Jabat, it's not only Cebuanos at home who are praying for the success of the forthcoming International Eucharistic Congress in 2016 in Cebu...We Cebuanos in the US and Canada are also praying for its success."

Thank you Ma'am Aurora for the information. I'm passing it on to Freeman readers.
