Bishop Camilo Gregorio to offer Low Mass on July 14, 2012

His Excellency Msgr. Camilo D. Gregorio, Prelate of Batanes, will offer Low Mass according to the 1962 Missal on July 14, 2012, 8:00 A.M. at Holy Family Parish.

This is his fifth Mass for SEDSI since the promulgation of Ecclesia Dei in 1988. The previous ones were: a "private" Mass in the house of Mr. Dennis Raymond Maturan in 1993 that was attended by a small congregation, followed after Summorum Pontificium with a Low Mass in the Parish of the Lord of Divine Mercy on January 28, 2008 (see this, this and this). Next came Sung Mass offered by the bishop,(preceded by Confirmations) on September 13, 2008, followed the next day (September 14) with the first properly-celebrated Solemn Pontifical Mass according to the 1962 Missal to be offered in the Philippines by a canonically-regular Catholic bishop since the liturgical reforms took effect. See this article for the September 13 and 14, 2008 Masses.

He also offered Sung Mass according to the 1962 Missal in St. James Church, Ayala Alabang on October 2, 2008, in St. Jerome Emiliani Parish in Alabang on January 18, 2009, sometime in February 2009 in Marilao (Requiem Mass for the late Msgr. Moises Andrade), sometime in March 2009 in the formation house of the Adorno Fathers in Vinzons, Camarines Norte, and a Solemn Pontifical Mass in Cebu sometime in March, 2011 at the Monastery of the Society of the Angel of Peace.

Who we are

Societas Ecclesia Dei Sancti Joseph (SEDSI) -- known until early 2012 as Ecclesia Dei Society of St. Joseph or EDSSJ -- was founded (as the Latin Mass Society of the Philippines) on December 18, 1987 to promote and defend access to the older forms of the Roman Rite in the Philippines, but always in alignment with and in obedience to the canonical norms and lawful ecclesiastical authorities of the Roman Catholic Church. In 2010 it became part of Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce.

SEDSI is currently based in Holy Family Parish, Madre Selva St. cor. Lilac St., Roxas District, Quezon City. From late 2006 until January 18, 2012 it had its home in the Parish of the Lord of Divine Mercy. Both are parishes of the Diocese of Cubao (suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Manila). In Holy Family Parish, Mass according to the 1962 Missal is said every Sunday and on most weekdays as well.

Members of SEDSI also assist with other TLM's (whether one-off or regularly scheduled Masses) in Metro Manila and rest of the Philippines, either in their official or in their personal capacities.

Members of SEDSI are very active in other religious causes in addition to the promotion of the older forms of the Roman Rite. Some are active in the pro-life movement, others in promoting devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and various saints.
