So my parish in considered a Hispanic parish, because the majority of the people are Hispanic and it’s located in a heavily Hispanic area. With my interest in the EF, and trying to bring it to my parish, I am face with the situation of, do Hispanics really want the EF? I don’t see why not since Spanish is a lot closer to Latin than English.

So my question is, do any of you attend a EF Mass that has a lot of Hispanics? Or is it almost all Anglo-Americans that attend this form of the Mass?
 
I have the same conflict in my parish concerning the EF. My parish hosts many ethnicities including Hispanics (Latinos and Filipinos), Asians, Irish, et cetera. I asked one of the sacristans about bringing the Traditional Mass back to my local parish and he said it would be complicated due to the many culture groups that exist and the way the parish is run currently with all the altar girls and “Eucharistic ministers”. Its really the EMHCs that bother me because they passively discourage reverence for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. For instance they come up to the sanctuary during the Agnus Dei and don’t kneel when the priest says “ecce agnus dei”. No one pays much care to hosts that are dropped. Hopefully it will come back because my church is the perfect place with the high altar and communion rails. I am sure the TLM will be accepted in my parish in due time.
 
My parish is has a very large Mexican and Fillipino attendence. Everyone wants the Latin Mass - not just Whites. There have been Mexicans, Fillipinos, Indians, Orientals, etc at every Latin Mass I have attended, no matter where.
 
St. Jude Thaddeus Church in Pharr, Texas, Diocese of Brownsville in Texas, has an EF Mass every Sunday at 8 a.m… The parish is about 95 percent Hispanic (Mexican-American to be exact).

The parish is run by the Fathers of the Oratory (the order to which St. Phillip Neri’s and Bl. John Henry Cardinal Newman belonged to). They also have a Latin OF Mass on Sunday.

the only two EF masses offered on a regular basis here are in predominately Hispanic parishes (well most parishes here fit that description) but parishes where more of the other Masses are offered in Spanish than in English, where most people speak Spanish at home much of the time, if not exclusively, and where catechetical programs are offered in both Spanish and English. I see Paco is way ahead of me.

Posts like this won’t, they just won’t do at all:tsktsk:

I am a Filipino although I have lived in the US for many, many years. I was raised on the Traditional Mass and served at the Altar for years. And I have been told on this very forum that I am not a true Filipino, that by an expat who lives in the Phillippines, that I am out of touch with my own people and that I am possibly illogical. I have also ben told that my experiences as a young boy with the Traditional Mass are atypical, unique and probably not even completely true.:eek:, you know seeing the past through rose colored glasses as it were.

All because I as a third world born young man actually had no problems at all, I know, unbelieveale according to some here, with the Mass and that I saw it as a unifying factor. It allowed me to assimilate much quicker because I was able to fully participate in an activity I loved, even though I didn’t speak English at all. The friends that I made from that servers group have lasted a lifetime and I cherish each day those memories of long ago days.

So I can say that in the eyes of many here you are either making these things up or are woefuly uninformed. We all know that the only, and I do mean the only people yearning for the Traditional Mass are white elitists, who are probably racists and sedevacantists to boot…

Or so they would have you believe. Of course when I brought up the fact that one of the Priests who regularly assisted and often celebrated at the Traditional Mass in San Diego was black, I was met with deafening silence, even whern I posted a photograph of him.

I guess they thought that I photoshopped it.🤷
 
Was that sarcasm?

I don’t appreciate being told that I’m lying, especially over such a small and benign question. I’m not white, elitist, and probably not sedevacantist and I support the Latin Mass. Some of the first traditional Catholics were not white (i.e., Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc, diocese of Campos, Brazil, etc).

It was not pointed at you my friend but rather at the liberal progressives who loathe anything traditional at all and will stop at nothing to denigrate and destroy everything that even relates to traditionalism…

And they know exactly who they are.👍

And yes, it was sarcasm.
