Holy Family Parish: Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan

The heritage Santa Barbara Parish of the Holy Family Church was built in 1716. The church is a part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan. 

The Altar

Guardians of the Family campaign was established for the renovation and reconstruction of the parish church after a devastating typhoon on 1887 that damaged 1/4 of the roof on the west side of the church.

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral: Poblacion, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Urdaneta is a Roman Rite diocese of the Latin Church of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. The diocese was established in 1985 from the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan.

The Altar

Adoration Chapel

The church is huge. I was able to walk around the vicinity of the cathedral. I find it interesting to see a mini chapel in an open area under an old tree beside the church. There is also a place wherein pilgrims can light candles where they can solemnly pray.

I highly suggest a visit to this church if you are going to Urdaneta City in Pangasinan. After attending a mass, you may walk across the street and head to the public market to buy cheap vegetables and pasalubongs.
