“Reaffirmed, rededicated, uplifted, motivated,
inspired,” Dr. Williams said, noting that while
the White Mass is a tradition based in Cathol-
icism, “Anybody is welcome. Baptist, Muslim,
Jewish, Presbyterian, it doesn’t matter. We’re
all welcome, and we have to keep each other
accountable.”
Dr. Teresita Bacani-Oropilla was one of the
physicians who attended the White Mass Cere-
mony. Though she isn’t a member of the Church
of the Assumption, afterwards she expressed
gratitude for the physicians who had invited
her to attend.
“I’m so glad I came. To me, this is a reaffir-
mation,” she said. “If you offer yourself to God,
you’re doing your charity and your work at the
same time.”
