Throughout the years, the San Pedro Macati Church has undergone numerous renovations and design alterations, yet many of its original features, such as the reredos and the church bells, remain intact. Reflecting the Baroque style of architecture, the church structure comprises a single rectangular nave with an apse and sacristy, typical of churches from the Spanish Colonial Period. The altar, adorned with its original carved reredos featuring motifs of various flowers and fruits in the Baroque Rococo tradition, still graces the church.

The celebration of the reception of the Holy Relics from the bone and cross of St. Andrew at the Cathedral Parish of St. Andrew were attended by the priests from the Diocese of Parañaque.

The Philippines boasts a number of churches dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. This is primarily due to a significant decree made by Pope Pius XII on September 7, 1942, through the Apostolic Letter Impositi Nobis. Responding to the bishops’ request, the Pope officially declared the Virgin Mary, honored under the title of the Immaculate Conception, as the principal patroness of the Philippines. As a result, numerous churches across the country have been erected to pay homage to her. And one of them is the Immaculate Conception Church in Marikina, which we have chosen to visit this Sunday.
