Good Day Everyone!
Welcome to our youtube channel
Peñafrancia Minor Basilica or the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Peñafrancia (Spanish: Basílica Menor de Peñafrancia) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica located outside Naga City - also known as Pilgrim City and Queen City of Bicol - in Bicol. Region of the Philippines. It is one of the largest Marian Pilgrimage Sites in Asia. The icon of Our Lady of Peñafrancia is enshrined in this sanctuary.
The concept for the building came from the late Archbishop Pedro Paulo Santos y Songco in 1960. Construction began on April 18, 1976, but was delayed for several years due to financial problems and was not completed until September 1981. On May 22, 1982 , it was first dedicated as the Church of Nuestra Señora de Peña de Francia.
Exactly three years later, the church was given the title “Basilica Minore” after the request of the third Archbishop of Cáceres, Leonardo Z. Legaspi, O.P., D.D. The Peñafrancia Basilica contains an image of the Virgin Mary sculpted in 1710. It was commissioned by Miguel de Cobarrubias, who moved to the Philippines from Spain with his family and believes that the Virgin Mary helped him many times in his life.
The image was placed in a small chapel until the basilica was built. Archbishop Pedro P. Santos mentioned that the number of devotees and pilgrims has continued to increase over the years. In 1960, he dreamed of building a basilica to honor the Virgin. Soon, through the contemplation of Archbishop Emeritus Teopisto V. Alberto, D.D. and the Association of Our Lady of Peñafrancia, Mr. and Mrs. Macario Mariano provided a three -hectare lot in Barrio Balatas. Bishop Concordio Sarte began the foundation for the building, with a blessing rite and laying of the cornerstone held on Easter Sunday, April 18, 1976. The dignitaries included members of the Catholic Church in the Philippines led by Cardinal Jaime Sin, the Archbishop of Manila, as well as prominent Bicolano sponsors.
