After Sto Tomas, we headed right away to Lipa, Batangas and our first stop is a modern church, the St Therese of the Child Of Jesus Parish. Lipa is a home for several old churches including the San Sebastian Cathedral and that makes this parish quite distinctive above the rest. This dainty parish located at the outskirts of the City, along the Alaminos-Lipa Road.
The church is relatively new compare to other churches in Lipa and is built in Modern American style. Since the San Sebastian Cathedral tend to be very congested and overcrowded, this church can be a perfect alternative site to visit.
They got daily mass every 6am from Mondays to Fridays, 6am and anticipated mass every Saturdays and 10:30 am and 6pm mass every Sundays.
Due to its very unique design, I find the facade quite confusing. I’m not sure which one is the front phase. Here’s the stained glass windows from the outside.
One of the entrances to the church.
The church’s nave and altar
A closer view to the main altar. Very simple and neat!
The view from the choir loft
The images from the stained glass window depicting the story of St Therese.
I also found this collection of Saints and other images. They’re probably using them during their feast day!
The baptismal font
Images of Blessed Loius & Zelie Martin (Parents of St Therese)
Image of Saint Michael Archangel
Outside the church lies the “Chapel of Saints” which was established four years ago.
The overwhelming amount of Saints and Images inside the small chapel.
Votive candle rack
At the back of the church, you’ll get a stunning view and landscape of Mt. Malarayat Golf and Country Club
Outside also lies a wonderful grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes
Our team also got an opportunity to take a photo with the parish priest Rev Fr Eugene Peñalosa III. Can you find me here? LOL
