St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church — Attraction in Makati

Garden Way of the Cross at night.

A couple of months ago, I had a long week and was mostly sleeping in when I woke up late for the Sunday service at our community church. I turned to Google to look for mass schedule that I can catch. I decided to hear mass here since Don Bosco would be a longer drive coming from Taguig.

I would often pass this church but I haven't fugured out where the driveway is. I decided to enter the street after Paseo de Magallanes, drive parallel to SLEX and turn left near the church. As I was about to turn right, there was a No Entry sign. Apparently, entrance to the church was beside the school along SLEX.

There was hardly any parking slots left. I ended up going back to the gas station to park.

I walked back to the church and I noticed that despite the noise from the passing cars along SLEX, it was very quiet inside the church. There's a sense of solemness that I hardly feel in other airconditioned churches.

While small, it has a majestic feel with its high ceiling.

The homily is well-delivered. The choir is good.

TIP: If you're commuting, public conveyances from EDSA going to FTI, Bicutan and Alabang would passby. You can alight at Asia Pacific College or at Shell gas station...

It's one of the most beautiful churches i have been to!

For me, even if the design is modern, it ranks with some of the best catholic churches in the Philippines.

The ambiance is grand and lofty.

The sunlight is captured by the roof openings & casts shadows that accentuate the space.

Beautiful decors & pews.

The floor tiles is beautiful.

The facade looks grand & even has a church bell arch.

The main wooden door was very large & was not the conventional swing type but rather pivot...

I've always wondered about this interesting roofing every time I drive by SLEX in Magallanes area. Now I know that this is St. Alphonsus church, not an auditorium. It's a solemn and beautiful church despite its relatively small size. The repeating arc lines echo throughout the ceiling, making it truly photogenic. See for yourself in the pictures attached. Btw it's airconditioned so the afternoon heat is...
