MGA GARBO SA MINGLANILLA


IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY PARISH
What a nice looking pink church, that is the parish of Immaculate Heart of Mary. It reminds me of the Baguio Cathedral in that it sits on an elevated portion of the town, its colored pink or pinkish and two bell towers flanking the sides. This is one of the few churches I have seen where most of the decorative glass windows near the ceiling are perfect circles. The architect must have had a penchant for that shape as even the altar area is donned with four big panels with circles at the top. Am not sure if there is some kind of symbolism in using those, but they look good and unique! Rest of the church is just like most churches... airy, expanded on the sides, four columns of pews instead of just two in the past, speakers, electric fans, chandeliers and stained glass murals of saints.
