Lenten Special : Visita Iglesia at Simala Church

In commemoration of Lenten Season, I’ll be featuring this miraculous Simala Parish Church. This Church is situated in Barangay Simala, Natalio B. Bacalso S National Hwy, Sibonga, Cebu.

I had a chance to visit this amazing church two years ago – it was summer. When I first saw Simala, I was fascinated because of the design. It looks like a castle or I might say “a theme park”. Indeed, some are visiting just to see the architectural design and most of them are tourist and foreigners. 

Inside, the detailed design is very mesmerizing.

The people purposely visit this church to ask for miracles. In fact, you will see inside those evidences of granted prayers – wigs from cancer survivors, pens from board passers, wheel chairs from those who were able to walk and etc.

How to Get There? (ChoosePhillipines)

From Manila, you can fly to Cebu (estimated cost of Php3, 000++, round trip, 45 minutes).

From the Mactan International Airport, hire a cab and ask to be dropped at the South Bus Terminal where you can ride a bus going to Sibonga; you can also hire a van from City Link terminal where it will take you all the way to the shrine. The bus ride from Cebu City to Sibonga takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes. By the time you reach the stop point, take a motorcycle ride to bring you to the Simala Shrine.

This Lenten Season, plan your vacation and don’t forget to include this church – a place where you can connect our Mighty God. Make your travel and vacation fun and holy.
