Right across the street from the Marikina Shoe Museum is the old Marikina Church called Our Lady of the Abandoned Parish. It stood massively with the cars, trikes, cabs rushes by in the small streets surrounding it. We decided to check it out and see its architectural uniqueness and appreciate it alongside the its history. The parish is Baroque in style characterized by a heavily fortified facade, large-scale ceiling paintings, and a dramatic central projection of the facade. It is well maintained from its columns, ceiling paintings, pulpits, and intricately designed altar. The church suffered major damages during the tumultuous years of the Philippine–American War in the early 1900s. In 1957, it was restored and refurbished by Father Silvestre dela Cruz of Archdiocese of Manila with the help from various religious and civic organisations. It now enshrines one of Papal recognized images of the Virgin Mary venerated as miraculous.

This is one of the oldest churches in Marikina being built in the 1700's by the Augustinians. The church is where Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados resides, the Patron Saint of Marikina City. Unforunately, it didn't survive 2 major earthquakes and so the current church is a rebuild. It's located near Bayan along JP Rizal St. in Sta Elena. Despite it's location, it's locally also referred to as the San Roque church. It is also a popular church for weddings. There's ample parking inside and during Sunday mass, cars are allowed to park around the streets surrounding the church. The architecture is to see both inside and out. Definitely one of the churches and landmarks worth visiting when in Marikina City.

Home of the priceless treasures of Marikina City. The image of the Nstra. Sra. Delos Desamparados. Obtained the highest recognition of the Catholic church, by giving the Cannonical recognition of His Holiness Pope Emeretus Benedict XVI. His first cannonical recognition under his Pontificate.. The image of Our Lady is special among the images in the Philippines, because of her natural filipina look. A true image of a filipina women. The Lady had shown her maternal love for her children, because of her guidance and protection who ever ask her too.

One of the oldest church built during the Philippines Spanish era, we did a quick stop and didn’t have time to go inside to see the beautiful interior. What’s caught my eye are the inscriptions of the Ten Commandments outside by the entrance close to the fence, in the national Filipino language. The Philippines is mostly catholic and this beautiful Roman Catholic church is a testament to this. It’s not busy in November but you can certainly visit any time of the year.

This church truly feels like a home away from home. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and the sermons are always insightful and uplifting. The music ministry is exceptional, creating a powerful and moving worship experience. However, due to the church's popularity, parking can be a significant challenge, especially during peak service times. This can sometimes create stress and inconvenience for attendees.
