"Today in Peru, native healers perform sacred healing ceremony."

Is this sentence grammatically right? Or Does it have to be changed into " a sacred healing ceremony" or "sacred healing ceremonies"?

2. "Today in Peru, native healers perform sacred healing custom."

Is this sentence grammatically right?

As for the first part of the question, it should be "a sacred healing ceremony," unless there was more than one.
