If you wish to invite Fr. Fernando Suarez & Fr. Jeff Shannon to your parish,

With the increasing popularity of Father Fernando Suarez, there are people who became jealous and spread rumors. One rumor was that he's charging $ 2,000 to heal a patient. Another columnist insinuated that it is all a hoax and might be a pyramiding scam. Even the archbishop frowned on the selling of rosary beads made from mother-of-pearl as a profiteering activity of the healing priest. The same archbishop warned the public of the status of Father Fernando Suarez as a priest.

The letter states that Father Fernando Suarez is a priest in good standing. The sale of the rosaries and cd's are to solicit donations to help them in the livelihood projects sponsored by the Mother of the Poor Organization.

An irate bishop lodged a formal complaint when Father Fernando Suarez celebrated healing masses in his jurisdiction. If you will take a look at the letter/invitation form, one of the conditions set by Father Fernando's healing ministry is the permission from the parish or the bishop. What the bishop would like to do is for him to issue an explicit permission. Where to the media?

This letter which is pdf file in his Healing Ministry website is a must for the invitation and clarifies most of these ugly rumors/news. Here is the html copy of the letter and an invitation form.


Dear Friend in Christ,
Re: Healing Ministry of Fr. Fernando Suarez, CC (Companions of the Cross)

Thank you for your inquiry regarding inviting Fr. Fernando Suarez to celebrate a Healing Mass/Mission at your parish. This aims to provide clarification regarding Fr. Fernando’s possible visit to your parish and to answer frequently asked questions about Fr. Fernando’s Healing Ministry.

Fr. Fernando Suarez is a priest in good standing with the Companions of the Cross Community, in Ottawa, Canada. Shortly after Fr. Fernando’s ordination in 2002, it was apparent that he had been blessed with the gift of healing. In 2005, he was assigned to work full time in a healing ministry. As a
fellow priest in the Companions of the Cross, I was assigned by our community to travel with Fr.Fernando and help him in this ministry.

News of Fr. Fernando’s healing gift spread quickly and in the last couple of years, we have been all over the world celebrating healing Masses and rejoicing in the healing power of the Eucharist. Due to the overwhelming response to this ministry, it became necessary for us to set a few guidelines. In order for us to be able to consider an invitation to a parish, we must receive the expressed permission
and approval from the pastor of the parish. If an organization is the inviting party, the bishop or pastor who has jurisdiction in that area must grant permission for Fr. Fernando to celebrate a healing Mass/Mission.

While still in the seminary, Fr. Fernando founded a ministry called Mary Mother of the Poor and it was his vision that time that this ministry would serve the needs of the poor. Today, Mary Mother of the Poor is a non-profit, charitable foundation, an apostolate helping the poor in countries like the Philippines, Canada, United States, and Uganda with feeding and housing programs as well as funding for schools and scholarship programs. For these reasons, if Fr. Fernando is able to accept your
invitation, it is expected that all monies collected during the Mass be donated to the Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation (MMP) and in turn MMP will give a stipend to the parish/pastor for the use of the
church.

For 3-6 Days Parish Missions (Only), we require the inviting parish or parishes to cover the associated travel expenses and be responsible for our accommodations while we are there.

We also usually bring a selection of fresh water pearl rosary bracelets made in the Philippines which is part of a livelihood program. In addition, we also have several CD’s of talks and reflections by Fr.Fernando at a number of venues over the last couple of years. We kindly request that a table be set up outside the church proper so that anyone wanting to make a donation to Mary Mother of the Poor in
exchange for a CD or rosary bracelet may do so.

We hope we were able to help you understand the process involved and answer a few questions you
may have about Fr. Fernando’s healing ministry. We believe that this ministry is truly blessed by God and we look forward to the possibility of visiting your parish.
If you wish to invite Fr. Fernando and myself to your parish, we would appreciate receiving an invitation sent to us. Please complete the form below and fax a signed copy of this letter to ensure us that you are in agreement with the terms that have been laid out.

Once received, we will be able to consider your invitation and inform you of our availability dates.
