Pope Pius XII Catholic Center

Tourist attraction β€’ Catholic church

πŸ‘πŸ‘ It's a hotel (I think run by Catholic priests-not really that sure). A good place to stay when your itinerary is around Manila. Near malls (accessible by tricycle), near government offices and near some of the tourists spots of the Philippines (such as Rizal Park). People often mention clean, church, good, mass, Manila, nice, Dave, stay, Maria, Goretti,

    Located inside is the Church of Sta Maria Goretti. Also inside is a hotel with very friendly rates (around 1,000-1,450)

    Unassuming upfront, hidden gem of a chapel inside! A truly holy ground...

    The priest homily is timing.. to be calm & considerate.. a call to private prayer & morality.. to be in a community where one can grow & be nourished.. The place offers peace & quiet solitude. At the same time, it's welcoming to any & all..

    We attended the 11:30 a.m. mass. Parking is limited but is allowed on the side and main roads. Ushers were very helpful and friendly. Although the parish itself is quite small, there are many chairs that were readied for parishioners that couldn't be accommodated inside.

    Nice place to have your seminars. Some of the proceeds for venue fee goes to the feeding program of the homeless

    Fr. Dave Concepcion knows what he preaches and expert at it

  • 3/5 May S. 5 years ago on Google
    Good place to stay when you're looking for a place to stay that can't wreck your pocket. If you're a RC, they have a chapel there. The only thing I don't like is the opening and the closing of their kitchen. Kitchen opens late in the morning like around 6am, and no place to get food around.+

    I always choose to stay at Pope Pius Catholic Center because I feel safe and secured in that place and it's quiet and clean and the crews are very accommodating

    A sense of inner peace in the heart of Manila is what you're going to feel once you'll be in this parish.

    A sanctuary within the city. I felt much peace upon entering the grounds.

  • 5/5 Judee Boado (. 1 year ago on Google
    Priests are very good and give very good homily. From then on, I developed a 7am mass habit. The church is now also known as Sta. Maria Goretti Parish. They have a very good sound system that allows parishioners to listen attentively during mass. The choir sings angelically.

    A solemnity feeling to pray here. A very clean church and the surrounding. Father Dave the Parish Priest is my inspiration to know God so well. I love his homily it's touches my heart. God bless to Fr. Dave and Fr. Ted and all the staff πŸ™

  • 5/5 Deehan Y. 10 months ago on Google
    I always love staying in here.. it's clean and peaceful. If you just want a decent place to sleep for a fraction of the cost and close to a place of worship.this is your place. The vibe brings me back to 1980s cloister dormitories for nuns and priest. This place is open for public. Theres tv nor fridge..but WIFi is available. It's located at the heart of old Manila close to binondo,luneta and quiapo. The highlight of my stay is how close the church is.

    Stayed at Ladies Dormitory for more than one year. People are very accommodating and the place is clean. It is a budget friendly dorm for both girls and boys studying in Manila. Proximity to SM Manila and Rob Manila. But UN square is our go-to when we're hungry πŸ˜…

  • 5/5 Red (. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a very good place to stay in with an affordable price. It is very accessible to restaurants, hospitals, government offices, schools, transport, etc. without being too chaotic. In fact, it is the most peaceful and quiet place I've been despite being in a very busy city and roads. It is very safe, clean, friendly, and hospitable too!

  • 5/5 May A. 4 years ago on Google
    I hear mass here because of Fr. David Concepcion. His homilies are always amusing and spot-on. Not preachy but hits home. He's a good speaker, too. If he was a writer, he'd be an excellent storyteller. Right now, he's the biggest asset of St. Maria Goretti Parish.
