  • This is a large structure , and Sunday worship is often standing room only. There was a time during its renovation that the altar was situated in the back because of construction debris scattered where sanctuary should normally would be. Because of its busy schedule the homily was said by another priest while the actual celebrant proceeded with the Mass without a sermon interruption. I wonder if this is still the norm these days. A street-level photograph(s) could be a nice touch, to include the church of St. Anthony too. Historical tid-bit : just across the church was the triangular-shaped building occupied by what was Jopson's market then. Now another name identifies that structure. Edgar Jopson was the son of the proprietor ; many people in Manila knew Edgar.
  • Perhaps a typographical error or mis-spelling -- Jocson, instead of Jopson? Sorry .
