Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Lipa City

A popular pilgrimage destination south of Metro Manila, Mt. Carmel Church in Lipa, near the Lipa Cathedral attracts pilgrims and curious tourists passing by the city to marvel at rose petals on display that supposedly has images of Mary and Jesus imprinted that date back to 1948

Just before going back back to chaotic Manila from Mt. Malarayat, Tutubi and his officemates decided to drop by Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.

Chaos of vehicles trying to get out of the church compound after the 12nn Sunday mass schedule.




devotees offer prayers to Mary Mediatrix of All Grace

Catholic devotees attribute the images on the rose petals to Mary, who took on the name Our Lady Mediatrix of All Grace, though the Catholic has yet to fully investigate the event of the miraculous rose petals and release an official statement.

How to get to Lipa, Batangas:

Commute from Manila: Board any bus bound for Batangas City via Tanauan (Not via Calabarzon) in Pasay City (Taft Avenue near corner Gil Puyat Ave (LRT Buendia station) then drop off at the Lipa Cathedral. Mt. Carmel Church is walking distance away.

Drive directly ahead passing by Shell, Turbina and Carmelray until you reach Star Tollway (StarToll).
