    Located in the heart of Mendiola in the midst of old universities. My to go to place during my college years. A place where traditions are still being observed despite all the modernisation that has shaped the lives of many millennials. Morning vespers before the community mass was something one has to experience where all the monks were present at the altar. It’s one of the churches that has retained the original look. They have ceiling fans since way back. They have an office on the right side upon entering the church where you can request mass for personal intentions. Available also is a small store of religious items where the famous St. Benedict medals are being sold. The church radiates with serenity that calms the soul.

    Christmas Eve service and a very nice one! The brass band playing during the joyous celebration made it a great experience.

  • 5/5 Philip Y. 7 years ago on Google • 91 reviews
    beautiful Church. very quiet. the paintings are magnificent especially the one on top of the main altar. The community morning prayers are sung in typical Benedictine fashion and so is the community mass. for a spiritually refreshing experience visit them

    Good worship place to reflect. 1030am Sunday Mass is one of the most solemn mass you can attend to in the area. Quiet and peaceful for you to reflect pray

    A place for reflection and contemplation. This abbey is where we heard mass for the past 10 years and it has a quietness that will help you talk to the Lord.

    I have never seen a church this beautiful in my life. Hope all the churches are being kept and preserved they way this one does.

  • 5/5 Nicole Y. 6 years ago on Google
    The exterior looks nondescript, but the interior is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Entering the Abbey almost feels like entering the St. Peter's Basilica. It's amazing.

    St. Benedict, pray for us! The part of the church where St. Bede's relic was exposed felt really extraordinary.

  • 5/5 Al M. 1 year ago on Google
    I was attending our Golden Jubilee Homecoming. It was awesome how chapel was preserved, remembering as it was when I visited more than 25 years ago! The school campus has adapted to the times, with numerous new buildings. Regardless, it still felt familiar (spending 12 years of youth there)

  • 5/5 Leslie D. 1 year ago on Google
    The person in-charge of having our religious items blessed is very accommodating! Everyone is really kind. The place is also conducive for praying and reflecting.

    Great quiet place to meditate.

  • 5/5 Rizzie C. 5 years ago on Google
    I recommended to visit if you will add this to your visita eglesia, althought too many devotees but if you are a Marian devotee you must come and offer a prayer, beacuse Our Lady of Montserrat is known for her miraculous intercessory powers.

  • 5/5 triskal b. 4 years ago on Google
    Architecture inside the church is amazing. Had a solemn time visiting the place. Not a crowded area to go to.

  • 5/5 Victorio O. 3 years ago on Google
    Officially named as The Benedictine Abbey Church of Our Lady of Montserrat, it is one of the most beautiful churches in the Philippines. Very notable are the paintings in ceilings and murals on the sides. The Abbey continues to hold Masses, prayers and benedictions on weekdays and on Sundays and holidays.

  • 5/5 Flying F. 4 years ago on Google
    A very beautiful church. It actually looks like a European church inside. You won't feel like you're attending mass in Manila.

    The church is found in Mendiola, Manila. It is Gothic in design and has beautiful paintings and murals on its ceiling. If you happen to be in the area, have a look at a part of Manila's history.

    (Translated by Google) Benedictine monastery in the Philippines. It seems to be one of the best churches in the Philippines. (Original) 필리핀에 있는 베네딕도 수도원입니다. 필리핀에서 가본 성당 중에 제일 좋은듯.
