Visita Iglesia in Tarlac

-

MANILA, Philippines - The illustrious province of Tarlac is the destination for Inscribe Tours’ traditional visita iglesia this Lent.

On April 21, Maundy Thursday, the tour of seven churches starts in Concepcion, where Ninoy Aquino began his political career in 1955, with a visit to the splendid Santuario de la Imaculada Concepcion.

Next are Santo Nino Church in Bamban, one of the first settlements to revolt against Spanish rule in 1896, and San Nicolas de Tolentino Church in Capas, terminus of the infamous Bataan Death March in 1942.

Tarlac City is the next stop – the Aquino Center for buffet lunch, then the iconic San Sebastian Cathedral.

The tour’s highlight is a visit to the famous pilgrimage site, Monasterio de Tarlac in San Jose, which keeps what is believed to be a fragment from the cross of Jesus at Calvary.

Camiling’s imposing Church of St. Michael the Archangel will also be visited. Last stop is Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel inside Hacienda Luisita.

For bookings, call Karla or Gerry at 747-3281 and 0905-276-4288.
