Felicidad T. Sy Foundation celebrates love and faith with ‘8th Kasalan sa SM' mass wedding

-

THE Felicidad T. Sy Foundation, Inc. (FTSFI) united 16 couples in holy matrimony during the “8th Kasalan sa SM” mass wedding held at the Shrine of Jesus the Way, the Truth and the Life Church in Pasay City. This special occasion included members of their 296,000-member Facebook community, the SM SuperMoms Club, making the day even more heartwarmi­ng.

The success of the event wouldn’t have been possible without the generous contributi­ons of Kultura’s Barong Filipino and Berches Barong, who provided Barong Tagalogs for all the grooms. Goldilocks also played a key role by sponsoring the 16 wedding cakes, and Gandang Ricky Reyes ensured a memorable experience for the brides with their hair and makeup services. Their support made the day truly special for the couples and their families.

The Kasalan sa SM initiative is an important part of FTSFI’s religious projects, an affiliate of the SM Foundation. This program, establishe­d nearly a decade ago, reflects the dedication of SM Group matriarch Felicidad T. Sy, also known as “Nanang,” to promoting spiritual wellbeing within communitie­s.

Nanang’s vision extends beyond weddings. She champions numerous religious activities, including the operation of masses and the restoratio­n/upkeep of churches and shrines within and near SM Malls. These initiative­s provide accessible places of worship for Catholic mall-goers and the communitie­s SM serves.

The 8th Kasalan sa SM mass wedding, officiated by clergy members, brought joy and blessings to the newlyweds who celebrated their union with loved ones. This event not only strengthen­s the bond of marriage but also underscore­s SM Group’s commitment to upholding Filipino Catholic faith and fostering strong family values within the community.
