Mission Statement

At present the Central Coast's Traditional Latin Mass Community of Saint Junipero Serra is served by Fr. Hughes Beaugrand at the request of the Most Reverend Richard J. Garcia, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Monterey in California.

The Traditional Latin Mass Community of Saint Junipero Serra serves those members of Christ's Faithful who worship in accordance with the traditional Latin Liturgy (or Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite) of the Catholic Church. The Sacred Liturgy is celebrated with the Roman liturgical books of 1962. Not merely its lawfulness, but the continued importance of the traditional Latin Liturgy for the faith and life of the Church, already affirmed by St. John Paul II in 'Ecclesia Dei,' was further emphasized and guaranteed by Pope Benedict XVI, in 'Summorum Pontificum.'

The traditional Latin Liturgy is centered on God as its core. The Traditional Latin Mass as it has developed through the centuries, under the gentle influence of the Holy Spirit, bears treasures of language, music and ritual that raise our hearts and minds to the presence and action of Almighty God, in order to praise Him and to witness to the Gospel message given to us by Christ Jesus our Savior.​

Message from Fr. Beaugrand: This is the second Sunday of Lent and in the mass of the day, it seems we are already in trouble: in fact, in the Collect we are praying God to preserve us inside and outside because we have no strength. We are weak! But still 35 days to go! It is like an athlete: when he starts his run, he is really motivated and strong but then he feels all the pain and difficulties and realizes he wasn’t that ready! Now he can see where he should have worked more! In our spiritual lives, we are motivated like lions the first days of Lent but then we feel the difficulties physically, spiritually and morally! It is not a time to complain but instead to use these weaknesses to get better. The athlete knows now where to focus more and what training he needs. Same thing for us, after a week of training, we should know where to focus and where to go: maybe doing it better, more seriously, or readjusting things for the long race to come, even for some to take it easy if we want to pass the finish line. Every step should be calculated in order to look the finish line, that’s the most important thing: no vanity but sincerity! Doing it better means taking the tools necessary to be there on Easter day!
