DECEMBER 2008: HEALING MASS


SHEC envisions the alleviation of poverty among the urban poor by building houses and providing livelihood opportunities. Our work is not complete, though, without addressing the poverty of the human spirit. Hence, spiritual enrichment has always been part of our programs for relocated families.

One such activity was a healing mass officiated by Father Fernando Suarez (Companions of the Cross Healing Ministry) at the St. Hannibal Subdivision Phase 2 on December 17, 2008. Families numbering to about 200 gathered in the common area of the subdivision to receive the transforming message of the Word of God, as well as physical healing through his servant, Fr. Suarez.

At SHEC, we do not just build houses; we point families to the one and true Healer and Builder of life.
