Our students at the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy attended the Thanksgiving Mass, February 14, 2008, at 9:00 a.m.
Rev. Fr. Abe Arganiosa, CRS, celebrated for us the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite in English on February 11, 2008 in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes and as thanksgiving mass of our department. I served as the commentator and helped the students with the responses. Two of my male students offered their services as altar servers, while another student read the first lesson. The celebration was held with all simplicity and dignity. In his homily Fr. Abe explained well the reason why we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and the reason for it. Fr. Abe sang some of the common parts of the Mass. We thank the Lord for giving us Filipinos the custom of celebrating Mass before any major activity.
Our Department requested Fr. Abe to perform house blessing for our newly renovated offices and classrooms which were destroyed by typhoon Reming of last year. We thank the Lord for helping our School. In less than a year we were able to rebuild and restore our facilities. However, I lost my important collection of books as my office was completely drench by rain water because the entire roof our our hall was destroyed plus a portion of the wall fell down.
Fr. Abe will celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass on February 22, 2008 at their House in ACI. Please pray for his ministry and for our endeavor to live up to the spirit of the Apostolic Letter, Summorum Pontificum.
