This is my favorite church to visit. not every sunday but most of the time.and i love being there. The place is so beautiful and its good to visit with the whole family. Maybe and i'm not sure if all the saints are there but there's a lot of saints inside the church and a lot of people visiting eveeyday. Once i experience that a woman maybe at her 40's of age i guess. She's watching me and keep on staring at me until i finish praying and she also. After that. Outside the church i didn't know that she's waiting for me . And she ask me where do i live and what is my job. By that time i live in malate manila and my job was a bartinder in one bar located near sta.cruz if some people knows BAHAY KUBO. back to the topic .after a little decent talks she gave me money .i can't remember the exact amount ☺ and she said .go for another job .look a better job as well. That's the reason why she gave me money. And gave another cash to eat at chowking but you know i didn't eat there because i want to save the money in the future and she gave her contact number .If i need cash i can contact her. Days been pass i call her asking for money and as she promised she gave me money thru LBC .and it happens three times and i'm so thankful to god that i met her specially inside church premises. I can't mention her name but hope one day and i'm wishing that we can meet again to say THANK YOU. Because she was my ANGEL at that time. My message. Ma'am ZENAIDA C. If you remember me .you know i can't forget you until now . Your always in my heart you help me a lot at that time. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart . Hope that we will meet again soon. I'm always Praying for the safety of your family and for a blessing to rain/pour over your family for helping people specially those who you don't personally known like me. Thank you much.

Located in the northern part of Manila, between the Tondo and Quiapo districts with Spanish baroque styled Santa Cruz Church. Ot is also known as The Our Lady of the Pillar Parish Church and also designated as the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament. This Roman Catholic Church located near the bank of Pasig River was built by the Jesuit for the increasing suburban Chinese population in the area who had converted to Catholic faith. Can park inside the church vicinity with fee. Very accessible by public transportation like jeep, bus and LRT. Great to worship with your family and love one's.

In terms of interiors, walang masyadong special sa loob but, the color of the facade, apaka ganda. Feeling ko mas maganda pa sya pag hapon. It is said that the original structure of this church was built in the same area where the latest structure was built. This church was constructed by the members of the “Society of Jesus” or known as the Jesuits in 1608 up to 1768. It is the first Roman Catholic Church built in this area. Its structure is made up of blocks of adobe quarried from the nearby provinces. It was dedicated for the newly converted Chinese who lives in Manila. 08/2014

When I was young, we used to attend mass here. I moved to another (adjacent) city, so I still visit here every now and then. The masses are solemn (I mean no screaming kids). It is a big church and many attendees are Filipino-Chinese, it being in Sta Cruz, Ongpin area. In the vicinity are the gold jewelry sellers. It is also walking distance to Quiapo church. I love that there are regular confessions here. It was their fiesta yesterday, October 16 Sunday, there was a procession and there were many priests present.

A historical parish in Manila dedicated to the Our Lady of The Pillar near the LRT station of Carriedo. We attended the Saturday novena of the Our Lady of The Pillqr and anticipated mass. The church itself is quite big with a Baroque architecture. The interior is really beautiful with a central mural and 2 altars. The church has a very soothing and solemn atmosphere. Both the novena and mass were extremely good with a good sound system. I highly recommend going to this church if you're in the area.

A baroque style church, based on the saints inside the church is previously manned by Dominican friars. It survived the second world war, it is renovated early in 2010s. The interior is rather dark and gloomy. One of the unique feature of the church is the funerary chapel lined with niches where the wealthy filipinos during the colonial period are buried, the chapel is located near the entrance of the church on the right.
