1 Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation Fr. Fernando M. Suarez, MMMP Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation, Founder marymotherofthepoor.org
2 Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation 1 History In 1996, while praying, Fr. Fernando Suarez was blessed with a vision. In the vision, Jesus was pouring out many graces and blessings upon him and as he received His graces and blessings, he saw multitudes of poor children begging for help. He did not understand the vision then, but its image remained in his heart. It was not until the summer of 1997, that the meaning of the vision became clear to him. During a two-week visit to the Philippines, at least ten poor children approached Fr. Fernando out of nowhere, asking for his support especially in their studies. Trusting in the Lord, he began sending money coming from his savings from giving recollections and retreats during his Christmas and summer holidays. As time went by, the Good Lord continued to bless this ministry and it has now become a foundation, "Mary Mother of the Poor" (MMP). With the help of the brothers of the community, and friends who support and share this vision, the foundation was able to grow, flourish and became established.
3 Mission and Objectives We are a non-profit, tax exempt charitable organization of Catholic religious and lay persons in the US, Canada and the Philippines, founded by Father Fernando M.

7 Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So spread your love wherever you go. If you cannot feed a hundred people, then just feed one. - Mother Theresa Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation Page 6

9 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD and he will repay him for his deed. - Proverbs 19:17 ` MMP visited the fire victims of Malabon and surprised the children with a treat. There were 160 families rendered homeless. They spoke to the residents of the communities involved: Anonas Community, Chico and Barangay Outpost Community, East Riverside Community, Sta. Cruz Community and the BEC Youth Group, Lourdes Chapel Group, West Riverside Community and Del Monte Community. The surprise was handing out of coupons to the children of the families and asking them to go to St. Peter and St. John Church basement to enjoy "Jollibee" treat of burgers, French fries and drinks. The visit ended with a Eucharistic Celebration and Healing Prayer. Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation Page 8

This is where the Seminarians begin their training to become priests serving in God s Church. Communal Prayer, Adoration, the Liturgy of the Hours and the Rosary are practiced daily. The island provides a rich experience of formation through exposure, as they live together with the poorest of the poor. The Feeding Program for the malnourished children started in the whole island of Ilin, as well as house to house evangelization, solar light distribution, basic catechism, preparation for the sacraments, Bible study with the poor and house to house praying of the Holy Rosary. Experiencing the life of God s blessed poor will not only strengthen the Seminarians call and mission to be totally selfless but also to understand the DIVINE PROVIDENCE of God which the poor experienced daily. The blessing continued at the Saint John Paul II Formation House at the back of the chapel Thanks to DMCI, Mr. Vic Consunji, Ms. Lucy Consunji, Mr.& Mrs. Manny Sta. Cruz, Mr. & Mrs. Baby Ignacio
31 History of Missionaries of Mary Mother of the Poor The Missionaries of Mary Mother of the Poor or MMMP, a public association of the faithful towards becoming a Society of Apostolic Life under the Apostolic Vicariate of San Jose, Philippines, was founded by Rev. Fr. Fernando M. Suarez, MMMP and Rev. Fr. Jeffrey Shannon, MMMP, under the canonical protection of Most Rev. Antonio Palang, SVD, DD, on July 16, Since then, the Community has been doing apostolates in the following areas: rekindling Church communities in mountainous and remote areas and island villages where the poorest of the poor are situated; building churches and outreach centers for the poor that provide dignified place for worship and cater to the very basic medical needs through medical missions; establishing livelihood programs for the poor; reviving youth ministries, the birth to the Youth Evangelization Services (YES) Movement that now goes to public schools in various dioceses in the country; and establishing and sustaining scholarship programs for the very poor and deserving students. Evidently, the MMMP is passionately involved in "bringing Good News to the poor...a Church for and with the poor" as emphasized by the CBCP's Pastoral Letter on the Era of New Evangelization, "Live Christ, Share Christ." On top of all the missionary activities of the MMMP is the establishment of "Eucharistic villages" in different communities wherein adoration chapels are built and renewed catechesis are conducted among the young and the old. This is part and parcel of the young Community's response to the Holy Father's urgent invitation "to arouse in every believer the aspiration to profess the faith in fullness and with renewed conviction, with confidence and hope" (Porta Fidei, 9). It even demonstrates the very core of the MMMP's passionate response to the call for new evangelization (cf. 14). Being God's anointed in the healing ministries, Fr. Fernando, within the spirituality of the MMMP, serves as healing priest worldwide who draws his charism from the power of the Holy Eucharist. Inspired by this, the MMMP then engages itself on activities that go beyond the corners of the Vicariate of San Jose. It is now actively involved on television, radio, and Internet ministries, sick visitation, retreat giving, and prison ministry. It is even more engaged in a number of student grants and in feeding and livelihood programs that seek sustainable development among beneficiaries. After Three (3) years of its canonical founding, the Missionaries of Mary Mother of the Poor now has 20 seminarians, who are studying philosophy, theology and canon law in Manila, some are into pastoral management program, while the rest are into other different formation stages through its various apostolates like teaching catechesis in public schools and canonical preparation of candidates to the reception of the sacraments. Its Mother House and Chapel is in the simple and quiet island of Ilin, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, Philippines. Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation Page 30

36 Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation 35 F About the founder r. Fernando Mortel Suarez was born on February 7, 1967 in Butong, Taal, Batangas in the Philippines. After graduating as a Chemical Engineer, he worked for five years in a chemical plant before answering the Lord s call to leave it all behind and become a priest. In 1995, he was invited to Canada and was ordained a priest by His Excellency Archbishop Marcel Gervais at Notre Dame Cathedral in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on May 18, After a strong calling to start a new community of priests in the Philippines, focused on ministering to the poorest of the poor, he founded the Missionaries of Mary Mother of the Poor in the Apostolic Vicariate of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, Philippines on March r. Fernando discovered that the Lord had given him a very special gift of healing around the age of 16. God began to use him in a powerful way as he reached out to people who were in need. At first, he struggled to understand the gift that God had given him and thus he hid the gift for 20 years. However, after ordination to the priesthood, the gift could not be hidden any longer. When he blessed and prayed with people as a priest, many were getting healed. The sick and troubled began to seek him out and they were able to find the healing touch of Jesus through his hands. To date, Fr. Fernando Suarez has prayed with literally millions of people in need of healing graces of God, all over the world. T F he healing ministry of Fr. Fernando is truly a gift from the Lord. He also stands in awe as he witnesses the action of God using his hands in healing the people in front of him of all sorts of physical, emotional and spiritual illnesses. He calls it a mystery that is difficult to comprehend. The Holy Spirit has given wisdom to this humble man who is diligently working in the vineyard of the Lord, healing the sick and ministering to the poor. The Lord continues to use him in even greater ways to help enkindle a burning desire in the hearts of the faithful who are so desperately seeking the love of Jesus in their lives.
37 Now to Him who is able to accomplish far more than all you ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. - Ephesians 3:20-21 Mary Mother of the Poor Foundation Page 36
