In the Holy Mass dedicated for the deceased and sick members, we prayed in a special way for the eternal peace of the soul of +Rheena May Lim (1971–2023). She was the national president from 2017 until our Heavenly Father called her home on 3 April 2023. Fr. Cris Magbitang, SDB, ADMA FIN Delegate and Spiritual Animator, presided the Holy Mass.
