Mt. Carmel Shrine
Just a short history of the church, on Dec. 30, 1954, the cornerstone for the church was blessed by Archbishop Vagnozzi in the presence of Archbishop Rufino Santos of the Archdiocese of Manila, Most Reverend Marie-Eugene, vicar general of the Order of the Discalced Carmelites and Ms. Mila Magsaysay, representing her father President Ramon Magsaysay. This cornerstone is located just below the main altar.
Ten years after the laying of the cornerstone, Rufino Cardinal Santos, archbishop of Manila, formally consecrated the shrine to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. A few years later, the shrine was separated from the Immaculate Concepcion Parish, with Fr. Paul O'Sullivan being installed as its first parish priest. Another pioneer in the development of the parish is Fr. Tom Shanahan who was involved in the work on the shrine community center called the Fr. Mark Horan Hall. Now Father Arnie Boehme is the Provincial Parish Priest and was one of the people who have initiated this 'Complete Wedding Package' to compete with the Wedding Venue nearby. There is also a community center just below the Fr. Mark Horan Hall.
