Our new home: Holy Family Parish

Beginning January 19, Thursday, the daily (and Sunday) Traditional Latin Mass in Parish of the Lord of Divine Mercy will be transferred to the much bigger Holy Family Parish (see above) in Roxas District, Quezon City. This is due to the assignment of our chaplain, Fr. Michell Joe Zerrudo, as the new pastor of Holy Family Parish.

The schedule will continue to be the same: weekday TLM's at 8:30 A.M. and the Sunday Mass at 2:00 P.M.

The information at the sidebar and on WikkiMissa will be updated in the next few days. Directions will also be posted. I also hope to be able to finish a post on our Advent and Christmas Masses and events.

Parish of the Lord of Divine Mercy -- "PLDM" -- served as refuge for the Traditional Latin Mass from late 2006 (when Summorum Pontificum was but a rumor) until this month. The last regular Sunday TLM was offered today and the last weekday TLM will be offered there on January 18. This parish was the scene of some of the Traditional Latin Mass movement's greatest joys and triumphs and it will forever remain in our memories and prayers.

The new altar rail of the Parish of the Lord of Divine Mercy and Mass for October 23

Last week the Parish of the Lord of Divine Mercy (PLDM) installed a new altar rail, which can be seen in the pictures below of the parish TLM for Sunday, October 23, 2011. Fr. Zerrudo also had an altar rail made for the Parish of the Most Holy Redeemer in Masambong, Quezon City, during his stint there as parish priest.

Mass in the Parish of the Lord of Divine Mercy, October 16, 2011

Pictures for today's Mass in Divine Mercy Parish haven't been uploaded yet on Facebook. In the meantime, here are some pictures of the Sunday TLM that was offered in the previous Sunday by Fr. Michell Joe B. Zerrudo in that same church, which he currently pastors. The "Tridentine" Mass is said in this parish on almost all weekdays and Saturdays at around 8:30 a.m., and on Sundays at 2:00 p.m. The pictures were taken by Mr. Dennis Raymond Maturan -- founder of Ecclesia Dei Society of St. Joseph -- and were originally published on his Facebook page.

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.
