This is another must-visit Catholic church in Manila, where you can feel a lot of the history of the deities and statues of former local saints, such as Quiapo. There is a very moving awakening session on faith, hope and charity here on Friday. My dad has been a member of the Holy Body since he was young. This is my second home, next to Quiapo Church. It is also a church that is memorable for my family. I recommend it to everyone.

The Our Lady of the Pillar Parish Church, commonly known as the Santa Cruz Church and also designated as the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament, is a baroque Roman Catholic parish church in the district of Santa Cruz, Manila, Philippines.
Today's event is simpler and the only one that hasn't rained. In the morning, I first visited a large church nearby. I saw that the morning prayer people first took water from the holy water tray held by the statue of the saint and crossed it on their bodies. Then some hands sat in long wooden chairs or knelt forward. Some touched the holy statues or their glass cover like Jesus, etc., and they silently prayed and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
Worth a visit. Unlike the Manila cathedral that is often closed, and there is no charge like the St. Austin Museum, there are still a lot of people praying here.
This church is famous locally and there are many people here every week
