Yes you read it right! This Sunday will be the first ever celebration of the 'Extraordinary' form of the Mass (according to the 1962 rite) in Southern Metro Manila.
Pope Benedict XVI's, Summorum Pontificum is definitely in full swing with parishes starting to celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass.
My first experience with the Traditional Latin Mass was in 2001 at Our Lady of Victories Church in Cubao which was administered by the Society of St. Pius X. I attended it with a friend of mine and after that, I was hooked. Other than the SSPX the only other church that celebrated the TLM back then was The Church of the High Redeemer. Now, there's the Divine Mercy Parish at Sikatuna Village, Quezon City and other churches for which names I don't remember.
So don't forget this Sunday, June 29 at 9:30am the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul will be the Mass for which millions of Catholic martyrs died for. The very Mass the great Saints and Fathers of the Church witnessed.
This Mass will be celebrated by Fr. Gratto Germanetto, CRS at St. Jerome Emiliani and Sta. Susana Church, Ayala Town Center, Zapote Road, Ayala, Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
Don't forget to bring your friends and family. Some people say the only people who shows up at those Masses are the elderly. On the contrary, in my almost seven years of going to Our Lady of Victories for the Traditional Latin Mass, the crowd is diverse. I always see a lot of youth and teenagers there (between 15 - 30 years old). In fact the youth are much more attracted to it so if you're young or young at heart come and join us this Sunday.
