Malolos Cathedral: Visita Iglesia Nine

"Jesus falls the third time."

Malolos Cathedral
Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception
Malolos City, Bulacan
Consecrated on 1630, present church is completed in 1884. Due to popularity of miraculous attributes, a petition was made for the Canonical Coronation of the image at the main altar of Malolos Cathedral. In May 2011, the Vatican granted the petition for the canonical coronation through a papal bull. The Solemn Canonical Coronation held last March 10, 2012.
