Binondo Church, also known as Minor Basilica of Saint Lorenzo Ruiz and Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish (Spanish: Parroquia Basílica de San Lorenzo Ruiz y Nuestra Señora del Santísimo Rosario), is located in the District of Binondo, Manilafronting Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz, in the Philippines. This church was founded by Dominican priests in 1596 to serve their Chinese converts to Christianity. The original building was destroyed in 1762 by British bombardment. A new granite church was completed on the same site in 1852 however it was greatly damaged during the Second World War, with only the western façade and the octagonal belfry surviving.
Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, who was born of a Chinese father and a Filipino mother, trained in this church and afterwards went as a missionary to Japan, where he and his companions were martyred for refusing to renounce Christianity. Ruiz is the Philippines' first saint, and was canonised by Pope John Paul II in 1987. A large statue of the saint stands in front of the church .Santa Cruz Church is a Baroque church located in Plaza Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz district, Manila, Philippines. It was built when the arrabal (suburb) of Santa Cruz was established by the Jesuits in the early 17th century. The church had undergone many repairs and reconstruction, with the last reconstruction done in the 1950s. Today, the church architecture employs a California Spanish Mission façade silhouette with the usual Filipino (Asian-Hispanic) baroque ornamentation. The church facade is topped with an effigy statue of Our Lady of the Pillar, the patroness of the church whose feast happens every 3rd Sunday of October.
So it started during the APEC Summit in the metro, a rerouting scheme that was implemented by the MMDA that the jeepneys that was going to Imus was not available in the usual route which was just in-front of Baclaran Church. I was advised to take the jeepneys going to Zapote instead, it was a long and exhausting travel that I faced just to get to Cavite.
After that day I learned that there was two-church that I will be passing with on that route, not knowing that the renowned Las Piñas Bamboo Organ was just beyond my reach at this time. This century-old-church was one of my dream destinations as the said ‘bamboo organ’ remains a mystery to me. The questions such as how these bamboos are able to play such melody, and also I wanted to hear it personally to end that wonder. St. Andrew Cathedral, officially The Cathedral Parish of St. Andrew and commonly referred to as the Parañaque Cathedral, is one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It was established in 1580 by Spanish Augustinian friars. The story of the Parish of St. Andrew started when Augustinian missionaries set foot on a fishing village near the sea, more than four hundred years ago.
The missionaries' purpose was to convert the natives to Roman Catholicism. This would also help facilitate the conquest of islands for the King of Spain. The town was called "Palanyag", the contraction for the word "Paglalayag" which means sailing. At that time, Palanyag consisted of several nipa huts grouped as a residential settlement known as "barangays." The Chair of Saint Peter Parish Church is located at the Santa Rosa Commercial Complex in Barangay Balibago, Santa Rosa City, Laguna, Philippines.
The Parish is under the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Pablo and the Vicariate of Saint Polycarp. Its feast day is every February 22 of each year, and is celebrated with a local festivity called "LUKLUKAN" festival. The english term for "luklukan" is throne or chair. Three hundred and forty-four years ago, Spanish Franciscan friars, 39 years after having established Christianity in Malinao in 1619, planted the Cross on a virginal land near the shore north of Malinao. The land was luxuriant with a gabi-like plant named Tigbi. Hence, the friars called the place Tigbi, which evolved into Tivi and, then, finally to its present name Tiwi.
This place began as a barrio of Malinao before it was formally organized as a politically independent pueblo in 1696. As a pueblo, it was governed by a gobernadorcillo. As a Catholic parish, it was administered by a secular priest under the then Diocese of Nueva Caceres, now an archdiocese. In its primeval stages, it had some 1,105 houses, a parish church, a community-funded primary school, and a cemetery outside the town proper. |
