Dearest Rev. Fr. Jun C. Sescon, Jr,

My warm greetings to you of a very meaningful Lent Season, and to your family, may our Lord fill your heart
with so many blessings of peace, and true reconciliation this sentimental 40 days. Congratulations Father Jun as
I heard so much good deeds that you have done to your Parishioners!
I am a Filipina, who is also from New York City, an active Lay Missionary of the Legion of Mary of St. Peters
Church New York City. I am here to seek your permission, to allow, a Prayerful Night Vigil, in your Chapel, in
honor of our Christian Martyrs who suffered the ISIS, persecution. I am the organizer of this event, which I also
wish to celebrate in many more churches here in Metro Manila. I am also organizing, a Prayer Rally to be held
in Luneta and the Samsung Hall, for the same cause.
His Honorary Consul Michael Ang, of the Jordanian Consulate here in Intramuros, Manila, will be one of our
guest speakers, and a Priest who I will invite to give a speech about this cause, to call each one of us
Christians, to remember with our prayers the Martyrs and Victims of ISIS, and to thank the Royal King &
Queen of Jordan, for fighting in behalf of our cause.
I have already communicated to the King and Queen of Jordan, regarding this offering from our hearts in
thanking them through our prayers, their act of heroism for our sake Christians.
I would need to display a couple of photos, of the ISIS execution, outside the Chapel by the entrance and have a
table of candles for the vigil. This is a solemn event, prayerful and meditative, but I do expect the local Media to
feature us, if you may allow. I still do not have a date, but I wish to ask you a schedule this coming Friday if it is
okay, 27th of February& also, Fr. Jun, if it is okay to start posting our ads in your church bulletin by Saturday.
Thank you very much for taking time in reading this letter of mine, and a beautiful Chinese New Year to you!
God bless you always!
Sincerely,
Maria Veronica de Jesus
Daughter of Mary
