Philippine Shrine

The Diocesan Shrine of San Vicente Ferrer in the Diocese of San Pablo in the Philippines was formally recognized by the Basilica de San Vicente Ferrer in Valencia, Spain, on June 6 as its spiritual twin in a deep devotion to the Spanish Dominican saint.

The Diocesan Shrine and Parish of the Immaculate Conception of Malabon City would be accorded by the Vatican a special bond of spiritual affinity with the Basilica of Sancta Maria Maggiore in Rome.
