Massive and grand is how I would describe this hallowed basilica; I think it has the same size as the Manila Cathedral or the Binondo Basilica…I think! Located in a not-so-busy location (read as quiet, less traffic) and yet devotees still flock to this place. A very solemn and meaningful way to reflect and pray. The basilica has high ceilings with big fans that even a sweltering summer day will keep the interiors cool. There is also a place to light votive candles with a minimal donation. A blessed Sunday to everyone and a good week ahead to all!

We got married here way back 2009, it was the day that typhoon Ondoy made the whole metro manila flooded. We canceled the wedding and rescheduled it nov. One of the nicest church to have your wedding it has one of the longest aisle in metro manila churches. Cant have sunday weddings here bec they prioritize church mass on sunday. Ample parking space. The church is very big inside, even with out air-conditioning system.

Solemn church with spacious alleys and pews. The ventilation is also a plus, with a very beautiful Baptismal Hall that adds more serenity and solemnity to the sacrament. For private commuters, there is ample parking around the Basilica with guards who are helpful and cordial. It can be accessed by metro train as well, get down on the nearby Gilmore station and walk a few minutes.

It's a place of worship where you could meditate and pray for it is so quite , nice and clean.

We always enjoy hearing mass in this church. Masses are neither too short nor too long, just right and always meaningful. Ventilation is good. Parking is not a problem. We renewed our vows in this church last June 16 and then had our reception at Fr. Horan Hall which was big enough to accomodate our guests of about 135 persons. It was a truly memorable event.

The Shrine is majestic and very solemn. Very well maintained too. Ample parking space surrounds the church. Columbarium is below the church. Church isn't airconditioned but very well ventilated which is good especially now during the pandemic.

One of Manila's national shrines is devoted to the veneration of Mother Mary. It stands as a tranquil sanctuary, ideal for contemplation, prayer, and partaking in a sacred communion. Inside the church, you'll be captivated by its awe-inspiring beauty, akin to many European churches. Its grandeur and magnitude exemplify the sacredness of this revered basilica. In Quezon City, it stands among the finest churches, boasting not only remarkable architectural structure but also a meticulously designed and well-preserved interior. With its pristine and unadorned altar, spacious long benches, and resplendent stained glass windows, every aspect is a testament to the artistry and care put into its creation. Nestled in a peaceful location away from bustling activity, the basilica provides a serene escape for visitors. Despite its tranquil setting, it remains a popular destination for devoted followers. Here, one can find solace and meaning, engaging in profound reflections and prayers. The basilica's lofty ceilings and large fans ensure a cool ambiance even on the hottest summer days. For those who seek to offer votive candles, a small contribution allows access to a designated area. Truly, this basilica is an enchanting and tranquil place, deserving of a visit from Catholics and admirers of architecture alike.

I grew up hearing mass regularly at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish Church, now a National Shrine. Great work on its renovation. Well-ventilated. Well-lit. Well-organized collection, and Holy Communion lines. Photo opportunity-friendly church (Instagrammable), in between masses. The audio system could use some improvement, we could barely understand the sermon. Must-visit. ✅✅✅

Holy place to visit. I love the art that can be seen on the wall. Huge ceiling 🥰

The interior of the church is well decorated, adorned and very solemn and peaceful. Also you'll find this church relaxing, parking is available even for PWD's.

One of the most beautiful churches in the National Capital Region.

The staff were very accommodating! I was there to get a copy of my daughter's baptismal certificate. To my surprise, it was given to me within 15 seconds only (including payment)!!! Thank you.

I haven't been here in quite some time, and it's just as lovely as I remember. Mama Mary, please keep us in your prayers.

It's a very church, baptistry room is so nice and very solemn, it's highly rocommendable for baptism. Customer service of the parish staff are great, they are very accommodating, responsive and kind. Even the sacristan and the priest is so modest and lighthearted, they really making connections with us and the baby.

I was married here back in 2014 with my wife of 6 years at this beautiful church. Admittedly back then it was under renovation and quite dark inside. These days however, the lighting inside the church is beautiful and the interior can be compared to any other beautiful churches in the Philippines. Always make an effort to come and visit when we can

a prayerful place; could find peace even around the Shrine's vicinity

Located in a serene spot in QC, this massive church is very solemn to reflect and pray.

Beautiful church. silent and peaceful. theres a bread store on the side.

A scared place to pray and give thanks to all the Blessings I receive every single day.

Beautiful and serene, this Basilica is worth a visit for any Catholic or anyone interested in architecture.

A place you can worship God.

During our Visita Iglesia 2023, we had the opportunity to visit this stunning church.

I grew up in this church. Our dad used to bring us here a lot, to attend mass and to just hang out and breathe.

Convenient parking. Very spacious inside. Architectural design is 5 star.

Minor Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel - Mariana, New Manila, Quezon City

Beautiful church. The big ceiling fans are a big help in cooling the place. Unfortunately when its very humid you cant help but perspire. The entrance, exit and parking geta really crowded dueing oraknyime masses so one has to be patient and forgiving before and after attending mass.
