Bisita Iglesia 2015
Church No. 1: The Parish of Christ the King is also known as the “Church in the Sky” (Taytay).
Formally erected on May 15, 1984, it was the first parish created under the Diocese of Antipolo.
The new church was constructed on October 1, 2002.
This year, my family joined the family of my highschool classmate Sheila and her spouse Noel (and his siblings' families) on their Visita Iglesia of Rizal province churches. Together with Portia, another highschool classmate, we started our pilgrimage in the morning and completed the visita after 8:00 in the evening.
