'It gives us the silence, (the break) from the 24/7 noise that we experience the rest of the week,' Pio Fulache-Antiquina says of attending a Traditional Latin Mass

Soft-spoken and deeply respectful, Fulache told Rappler the TLM is central to her Catholic faith and the old rite’s use of Latin and its ceremony make it very solemn and meaningful to her. “It has deepened my faith,” she said. Fulache, who uses youthspeak slang such as “TBH” for “to be honest” in spoken conversations, said her first Latin Mass was on April 21, 2019, an Easter Sunday. She described it in her diary as “beautiful and amazing.” But it was after a Latin Mass on October 25, 2020 with Antiquina and her aunt, Antiquina’s mother, that she started regularly attending TLM. In that Latin Mass, Fulache said she realized that she had much to learn about her faith and started reading spiritual books.
A TLM can be disorienting for someone who hasn’t attended one. There is a missal with English translation that serves as a liturgical guide. Aside from the use of Ecclesiastical Latin, the constant kneeling, Gregorian chants, the ad orientem posture of the priest with his back to the people and toward the altar, and communion by tongue while kneeling to receive the host, the key difference is in the participation of the laity.
The liturgy was changed by the Second Vatican Council., which was held from 1962 to 1965 to take up reforms in the Catholic Church.“It gives us the silence, from the 24/7 noise that we experience the rest of the week,” Antiquina said. That silence, he said, gives people time during the mass to reflect and pray for others.
In Cebu, there are only three priests authorized by Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma to celebrate the TLM, Monsignor Joseph Tan, Fr. Andrei Ventanilla, and Fr. Luigi Kerschbamer. It is only held at Tabor Hill on Sundays at 1 pm. There is a Latin Mass in the morning but it is not based on the pre-Vatican II missal, said Antiquilla.
