Archdiocese of Manila

Low Mass on First Fridays at 11 A.M.

Msgr. Melencio De Vera

(Call ahead to verify schedule)

NOTE: This chapel is very small, well hidden from public view and is accessible only through a private passageway. First-time visitors are advised to call the Center to verify the Mass schedule and to ask for directions. This chapel is almost in the shadow of the San Sebastian Basilica, a towering 19th century Gothic steel church in the heart of old Manila.

The small congregation here goes to the Parish of the Lord of Divine Mercy for Sunday Mass. This is not the same as the group that used to have an every-Sunday TLM in the Archdiocese of Manila in the years prior to Summorum Pontificum.

The Sunday TLM that was established (by yet another group of Catholic faithful) in July 2008 in the St. John Bosco Parish in the city of Makati was discontinued after a few Sundays due to the priest going to Europe for studies. Although the congregation tried to get their TLM back and was able to get another priest to agree to offer Mass, the “Manila Guidelines” on the TLM soon put an end to their plans.
