Discover the Philippines: A Journey of Faith, Flavor, and Filipino Spirit
In the Cradle of Christianity in Asia
With Father Jake Mullin, Spiritual Director
LUZON & VISAYAS HIGHLIGHTS:
Manila | Antipolo | Manaoag | Vigan | Paoay | Pangasinan
Cebu | Sibonga (Simala Shrine)| Carcar | Bohol | Panglao
For some, it’s their first time. For others, it’s a return home.
Whether you’re here to discover or rediscover the Philippines, this pilgrimage invites you to walk in faith, connect with community, and experience the beauty of this journey—spiritually, culturally, and personally.
You’ll travel across Luzon and Visayas, from the northern churches of Manaoag and Antipolo, through the cobblestone streets of Vigan and Paoay, and onward to Cebu and Bohol, where faith first took root in the Philippines over 500 years ago.
Walk the centuries-old paths of Christianity, from the Minor Basilica of Manaoag (1605) to the Santo Niño of Cebu (1565), the oldest Catholic church in the country. Pray in UNESCO World Heritage churches, offer intentions at miraculous Marian shrines, and celebrate Mass in places where history and devotion come together.
And the journey doesn’t end at the churches and shrines.
- Taste your way through the regions—from the crispy bite of Vigan empanada, to the world-famous Carcar lechon, to an organic farm-to-table dinner in Bohol.
- Discover colonial towns and coastal cities, stroll through cobblestone streets, and reflect on the country’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage.
- Relax on the white-sand beaches of Panglao and Cebu, where crystal-clear waters invite you to unwind, reconnect, and restore.
- Take time to pray, reflect, and bond with fellow pilgrims, but also enjoy the freedom to shop for local crafts and souvenirs, bringing home meaningful mementos of your journey.
This Pilgrimage Is For You If:
- You seek a faith-filled journey that also celebrates life’s beauty
- You want to walk in the footsteps of Filipino devotion and Christian history
- You love authentic cultural immersion and culinary discovery
- You believe rest is part of the pilgrimage—whether it’s quiet beach time, reflection, or simply pausing to take in the view
- You enjoy a balance of prayer, travel, reflection, relaxation, and cultural exploration
Come Pray. Come Taste. Come Rest. Come Home.
Whether you’re discovering the Philippines for the first time or returning to your roots, this journey invites you to pray, explore, savor, shop, and belong.
