San Sebastian Church

21 May 2007 19 Comments

The Church of San Sebastian was raised into the status of a minor basilica by Pope Leo XIII on June 24, 1890. The following year, on August 15, 1891, the all-steel church of San Sebastian was inaugurated and blessed. The interior of the church displays groined vaults just like what a Gothic architecture should be, the steel parts of columns, walls and ceiling were painted to resemble marble and jasper by Filipino artist Lorenzo Rocha and his students. True to the Gothic revival spirit of the church are its confessionals, pulpit and altars as designed by Filipino artist Lorenzo Guerrero. He, with fellow artist Eulogio Garcia, carved the statues of holy men and women. Trompe l’oeil paintings was used to decorate the interiors of the church.

    I inquired in this church several weeks ago because i'm getting married in july 2010. Their church rate is 20K and they have a function hall you can rent out for 8k for 4 hours. The church is not airconditioned and according to the lady i spoke with they do not allow aircondition for some reason. hope that helps.

    Hi! San Sebastian rate is 20K and it is not air-conditioned because the whole church is made of steel.. Upon reservation you need to deposit 5K. The package includes wedding singer and organist, priest, red carpet, 14 pots of flowers (Calla lily) and church coordinators. If you want to inquire you can reach them thru this no. 7348908 or 7348931 loc. 120.

    is it true that there is no time to take pictures after the ceremony because of hectic church schedules?
