Archdiocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament - Santa Cruz, Manila City (Archdiocese of Manila) — Attraction in Manila

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...

BINONDO CHURCH, circa 1596 AKA Minor Basilica and National Shrine of San Lorenzo Ruiz 📌 Chinatown (Ongpin), Binondo District, Manila

In 1596, Dominican priests founded Binondo church to serve their Chinese converts to Christianity as well as to the native Filipinos. A church was constructed before 1614. When transferred to its present site in the 18th century, a new church was built to accommodate new churchgoers. In 1778, the roof was replaced with nipa as the wood was destroyed by termites.

In 1863, the church was slightly damaged by an earthquake. The original structure sustained damages in September 1944 during World War II and nothing was left behind except the stone walls of the church and the bell tower.

After the war, Binondo parishioners had to make do with a roofless church for several years until it was rebuilt in the 1950s. The present church and convent were renovated between 1946 and 1971.

Binondo Church features an octagonal pagoda-like bell tower which suggests the Chinese culture of the parishioners.

This Church is an important cultural heritage which is also a Shrine to the venerated image of Our Lady of the Pillar. The image was pontifically crowned last December 7, 2017, by a decree from Pope Francis. The Church is a sanctuary in the middle of the busy center of Manila where the faithful can enjoy peace and quiet while praying. The Blessed Sacrament is also exposed for adoration at specific times of the day to make your prayer time reverent and meaningful by the real presence of Jesus. Be sure to drop by when you want to take a break from the chaotic traffic of Manila. Spending time with the Lord, especially in adoration while doing some spiritual readings or meditation will surely give you...
