Antipolo Cathedral (International Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage)
About
The pilgrimage that put Antipolo on the map! This hilltop cathedral keeps the beloved image of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, patroness of travelers, and in 2026 the faithful marked 400 years since the image arrived. Every May to July, thousands make the traditional 'pag-ahon' uphill to pray, hear Mass and ask a blessing before a trip. Light a candle, then do it the Antipolo way: kasoy, suman and mangga from the stalls outside, and a sunset view from the hills!
