Churchy

St. Peter's Church, Palace of Rock and Shrine of Leaders

The National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus (Manila)

I am.

I grew up being a Roman Catholic. Instilled in me the values of life. Been an active youth servant leader for almost half of my life. Active delegate of church activities.

I admit, I am churchy.

This may be the reason as why I love even it's architecture.

Let's see the churches I visited. Leggo

⛪The National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus (Located in Mendiola, near The Malacanang Palace)

A small area for the devotees with big hearts. St. Jude is the patron saint of hopeless cases. Through his intercession as the cousin of Jesus we lift our intentions and pray for those who invoke thy aid.

The facade has the huge image of St. Jude and the internal of the church is a cream colored wall decorated by stained-glasses with the images of passion, death, resurrection, and the beginning of human life. At the center would be the wooden crucifix of animatedly made representation of Jesus.

COME AND JOIN THE NOVENA EVERY THURSDAY!
5-6AM, 6-7AM, 7-8AM, 8-9AM (PM)

⛪St. Peter's Church, The Palace of Rock and the Shrine of Leaders. (Located at Commonwealth Avenue, near EverGotesco Mall)

A perfect place to feel that one can be strong and steadfast even in a hussle-hurry world...which is a strong value of a leader, to think straight or properly amidst the noise of his environment. At St. Peter, most of the relief packaging during calamaities were being conducted.

The grandeur of the altar would its best asset the ceiling itself would make you think that you are in heaven or somewhere faraway. The altar looks like the arc used during the reposition of the blessed sacrament. On the highest part of the wall you'd see the names of the saints gathered around like tile-design. The sanctuary can be found on the left hand side (reference:as you are facing the altar)
