    Can attend Morning, Afternoon, and Evening mass here. I always feel relieved whenever I'm inside this church. Good building structure. It's very accessible and very near to the public market. There are lots of food chains, shops, street foods, and a lot more around. I really love this place!!!! ❤

    The history of the Cathedral can be traced back to as far back as 1605, when it was administered by the Augustinians under the title “Convent of San Sebastian in Comintang.” But the construction of the Cathedral that we see today started in 1779. Since then, it has undergone a series of renovations and several elements had been added until it was finally completed from 1865 to 1894. The building is well maintained. It has big parking lot in front (with clean toilets at the back).

    This cathedral is elegant and classic. The ceiling is artistically designed to captivate not just parish practitioners but also other guests from different places.

    The Cathedral of San Sebastián is Lipa City’s pride. It is the only church with the most extensive ceiling artwork.

    Beautiful Cathedral and worth a visit. Not sure if the pipe organ are actually functional. And take time adjustments for parking if you’re visiting on a Sunday.

    This a lovely and serene church. It is nice that it is accessible again and they have provided places where you can wash your hands.

    Another old church worth visiting when you’re in Lipa. The walls speak volumes of history. The main altar will put one in awe. A feeling of calmness enveloped me whenever I visit old churches. In this time of pandemic, they require church goers to register for contact tracing.

    Century-old cathedral and home of the Archdiocese of Lipa. Ceiling is painted with great men and women of the bible and bible events. Check out the pipes of the organ, very classic. The front of the cathedral is large and mass is celebrate here for an open-air feels. The cathedral itself is a historical treasure. Parking is always full, so better come early before the mass.

    Super beautiful Church ❤ always love visiting Lipa for their churches. Very solemn and peaceful with such detailed intricacies. There are also prayers that you can pray ❤🙏 as guides. The whole cathedral practices social distancing - they have alcohol and mist provided even. A little piece of heaven here.

  • 4/5 Ken K. 5 years ago on Google
    Every time i visit here weddings are held here. If you prefer a church where you can meditate, this is the church you’re looking for. Most of the locals attend to this church so during Sundays this church is crowded.

  • 4/5 Vianece Jasmine O. 4 years ago on Google
    Went there as entourage for a wedding. The dress code is strict, it doesn't allow revealing clothes, gowns for entourage should have sleeves. The priest was late in coming in, we waiting like 10mins. The kiss the bride was done after the I DO instead of at the end. But if you want the classic wedding, this cathedral is nice. 👍
