Fortune Life Insurance Co., Inc. recently celebrated its 26th Anniversary with a solemn Mass and a lively Christmas celebration.

This also marked the culmination of the company's Silver Anniversary celebration.

As an annual tradition, a thanksgiving mass was offered on December 8, 2010 at the Fortune Life Building lobby. Ambassador Antonio L.
