As we arrived at the awe-inspiring Kamay Ni Hesus healing complex in Lucban Quezon, I had the pleasure of showing singers Pinky Marquez and Lucky Robles the magnificent 50-foot statue of the Ascending Christ, majestically nestled on the top of a mountain.

Did you know that up to 300,000 pilgrims visit the Kamay Ni Hesus Church and its surrounding complex monthly, especially during Holy Week? The Kamay Ni Hesus offers a serene environment conducive to prayer and reflection. But it’s Fr. Joey Faller, a beacon of hope and healing, that they go to seek healing.

Celebrity priest and healer Fr. Joey just turned 60 on June 19, and the concert director, Adrian Panganiban, invited us to perform for Fr. Joey's church pilgrims and benefactors. 

Before 1994, Fr. Joey was an ordinary priest in the Diocese of Lucban, Quezon. His gift of healing came after a near-death car collision experience in 1994. 

The accident damaged the nerves of his fingers on his right side, which resembled the hands of the Sto. Niño and of the hands of the risen and victorious Christ. 

For 30 years, the celebrity priest, renowned for his extraordinary gift of healing, has restored the health of over a million people in the Philippines and across the globe, an awe-inspiring feat.

Some of the notable healing miracles he has done were restoring the health of actress Sandy Andolong, healing Rez Cortez's cancer, healing Siony Yap from ovarian cancer, healing Hernando Banta's Stage 4 kidney cancer, and healing Joey Macarandang's infertility problem, who now has a child. 

I want to add to the list that my 40 nodules on my right and left breast are now down to three without medication—just faith! And that was exactly what the healing priest wanted as the title of his concert: "Fr. Joey Faller's 60th Birthday Concert: A Celebration of Faith." 

Fr. Joey's most important sentence during his concert was, “It is not me that heals you. It is your faith that heals you. Faith can move mountains, and with God, all things are possible. In every healing, I am merely an instrument," he humbly noted. "It is God who heals, and we are called to trust His divine plan." 

But some of his spiels after singing his favorite songs were like saying goodbye: “Even if I am not here in Kamay Ni Hesus, I brought Mama Mary, Our Lady of Remedies, here in the second church that we built in the complex. She is very powerful. I dreamt of her. Look, she will give you a gift. Look at your hands now.”

The healing priest was excited as he was about to show everyone a miracle. We all looked at our hands and saw nothing. Then he started to pray to Our Lady of Remedies to grant us a gift. When we opened our hands again, there was glitter in them. Mine was silver, but some had gold and red. Goosebumps!

The grand concert showcased his dedication to faith, music, and the miraculous healings that have brought hope to countless lives.  During the concert, he spoke passionately about his journey as a priest and healer, emphasizing the importance of unwavering faith in God's love and mercy. 

Fr. Joey's words resonated deeply with his audience and benefactors, many of whom had experienced his healing touch firsthand. He has become a beacon of hope for those seeking physical and spiritual healing. 

His healing masses draw people from all over the country, each hoping for a miracle. The testimonies of those he has healed are inspiring and heartwarming. Dr. Welson Yap and hotelier Francis Dy are among the doctors he has healed from a life-threatening disease. 

The Birth of Kamay Ni Hesus Church 

The Kamay Ni Hesus Church in Lucban, Quezon, is a testament to Fr. Joey's unwavering faith and dedication. 

His 60th birthday celebration was not just a personal milestone but a celebration of the countless lives he has touched and healed through his faith and dedication.

Fr. Joey's life and work continue to inspire, reminding everyone that all things are possible with faith. Special thanks for the pictures to Brian Jay Datumputi, a chef and friend of Fr. Joey, who helped the healing priest conceptualize the concert and make it a reality.
