The Jeduthun “Singing Boholano Priests” will perform at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, 555 W. Temple St., in downtown Los Angeles at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 11 to help raise funds to rebuild churches devastated by the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the central Philippines.

Eight priests from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Talibon in Bohol, Philippines, will sing gospel, American pop classics and famous Filipino songs in a live benefit concert.

The earthquake last October claimed the lives of 222 people and injured 976, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. Additionally, more than 73,000 structures were damaged including the churches of Bohol with its oldest built in the 16th century.

Funds from the concert will help rebuild the churches of Bohol. Suggested donation is $15/ticket. For more information, call (818) 768-8734 or visit: http://www.olacathedral.org/.
