Mabuhay ! Welcome to the official website of the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary, La Naval de Manila !
It’s been said and it is true that the devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary is one of the most significant and most historical in our country. It is not surprising then that the Shrine welcomes countless pilgrims and devotees from all over the world each year. Some come as tourists but most visit to experience the love of Jesus and Mary through the liturgical services that we celebrate as a community. Our website intends to extend that experience to all peoples whenever they wish and wherever they may be.
Consider this website then as your virtual gateway to the Shrine. Wherever you may be, I invite you to be one with us in any way possible: pray the novena with us, share your La Naval stories, like us on facebook, follow us on twitter (Yes, our Lady tweets !), or help us in our restoration endeavors. The possibilities are endless.
I pray that this new website will enable people to be in touch with the latest events at the Shrine. I also pray that this will deepen even more our devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary and strengthen our bond with each other.
May God bless you and I hope to see you again on your next visit !
Viva la Virgen !
