Visita Iglesia 2016

Ilocos Vacation






After we left St. Joseph Church, the Church of the Pink Sisters was within proximity, but it was ways away from where we were headed.   We went instead to the Divine Word Seminary, a church of the SVD.

 After leaving the Divine Word Seminary we began the long, traffic-heavy journey across EDSA to Guadalupe, skipping Our Lady of Peace in Ortigas because of the volume of cars made it impossible, though we did get a glimpse of the statue of the Blessed Virgin there.

We made, however, another detour just before going to EDSA and Guadalupe: the Immaculate
Conception Cathedral, which was nearby the Divine Word church

...and the beautiful interior

The altar

And the mural depicting the Immaculate Conception


You know it's a cathedral when you see the bishop's seat

After the visit we finally made through the tortuous way across EDSA traffic, which took us hours to traverse (despite the Lenten break).   Finally, we made our way to an old church, which I researched to be Nuestra Senora Gracia, Our Lady of Grace (I might've made a mistake, tell me)

You might notice the little parol (star) above the circular window

The simple, traditional interior

After the Guadalupe church the way opened to Baclaran, and then to the Church of the Way, the Truth and the Life.   We were at our 9th church, and we were still planning to stop by Our Lady of Grace in Caloocan after, but the journey was coming to a close.
