UST TLM: Venue change for September

I have just been informed that the UST TLM for September will be offered at the Religious of Mary Immaculate chapel (Holy Family Dormitory, 1231 Arsenio Lacson St.), just outside UST itself. This is located beside Jollibee Lacson.

The Mass will be at 6:30 P.M. and will be offered by Fr. Eric Forbes OFMCap, who is from Guam and has Filipino ancestry.

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.
