Immaculate Heart of Mary (Minglanilla)
The parish of Minglanilla was created in October 30, 1857 by Cebu Bishop Romualdo Jimeno. The town, which separated from Naga and Talisay in June 26, 1856, was originally called “Buat” until it was renamed by its first Spanish parish priest, Fr. Fernando Sanchez, from an obscure place in Spain.

dili lang kay ang simbahan ray nindot, hasta ang katawhan nga sakop sa parokya nga nagpabliin diha sa pagkahiusa sulod sa 152 na katuig sukad pagkatukod sa maong simbahan… Gugma sa Dios ug ni Birhen Maria ang nagdugtong sa mga kasingkasing sa mg Minglanillahanon…

the prayer room is really solemn except when somebody else enters it, because when the door is opened, its sound is very distracting. hopefully something will be done to keep up its solemness…
