December 1, 2023 – Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes – The Salesian Community of this parish has commissioned restoration works on the church building. The building was built through the efforts of the late Fr. Jose Bosch, SDB, a Salesian Spanish missionary back in the 1970’s. Restoration is underway for the repainting of the church exterior and general cleaning of its high parabolic ceilings and walls. The project is expected to cost P2 million pesos and finished just in time for the Parish Fiesta on February 11 next year.
The parish church remains a landmark in the locality of barangay Punta Princesa in Cebu City. Its unique architecture, design, and size make it standout in the cityline. The parish was designated as an archdiocesan shrine that promotes the devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes.
