Baclaran Church - National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Baclaran Church: A National Shrine of Intercession and Hope

Baclaran Church has a rich history that dates back to June 23, 1948, when the Novena was first introduced. From its humble beginnings, Baclaran has become a place of pilgrimage, drawing thousands of visitors from all over the country, who come to seek the intercession of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. The founding Redemptorist fathers could not have imagined that their small chapel would one day become a renowned shrine, known throughout the Philippines. It is a true testament to the power of faith and the deep devotion of the Filipino people to Mary, that Baclaran has become a household name. The phenomenon of Baclaran is not the work of human hands, but a miracle of God and Mother Mary, who continue to inspire and uplift all who visit this sacred place.
