Prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of Fr. Joseph Melito.
His requiem Mass will be at Our Lady of the Angels parish (SSPX) in Arcadia, CA, Saturday, September 19th at 8:00 am.
Fr. has been a staunch defender of the Traditional Latin Mass for many years, having been expelled from the diocese for his unabashed conservatism.
Another priest, Fr. Sretenovic, who later had gone through similar abusive treatment benefited from Fr. Melito's advice when he said,
"When we go to face our particular judgment, we need to be able to show Our Lord our battle scars."
May his soul and the souls of all the Faithful Departed, rest in peace.
