The National Shrine of Saint Michael and the Archangels, also known as San Miguel Church, is the only church in the world dedicated to the seven archangels, namely, Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael, Saint Uriel, Saint Selatiel, Saint Jhudiel, and Saint Barachiel.[1] It is also known as Malacañang Church, because of its proximity to the Malacañang Palace, the official residence of the President of the Republic of the Philippines.[1] Its present location is on the corner of Jose Laurel Street and General Solano Street, in San Miguel, Manila, the former original site of La Fábrica de Cerveza de San Miguel (now San Miguel Brewery).[2]
The tranquil ambiance of the shrine is due to the tight security provided within the Malacañang Complex. Of all Philippine presidents, only two had heard the mass at the shrine – Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Fidel V. Ramos, a Protestant.[1] The parish has only about 1,500 parishioners, some of whom came from wealthy old families in the district of San Miguel, Manila.[1]
It is the only church in the country that holds the sacrament of confirmation twice a week.[1]
History
San Miguel Church was first constructed as a stone church in 1603 by the Jesuits in Paco, Manila (formerly known as Dilao). Between the 17th up until the early 18th century, there was an increase of Japanese arrivals in that area, and they established a community.[3] In 1611, the Jesuits and the local Catholics accommodated the Japanese Christians who were persecuted under the Tokugawa Shogunate.[4] It was Dom Justo Takayama, a feudal lord, who led a group of approximately 300 Japanese Christians to the Philippines in 1614. According to some sources, the parish was named after Saint Michael, because most of the Japanese who arrived were warriors.[5]
The church got damaged during an earthquake in 1645 and British occupation in the country. The church was rebuilt in 1913 at its present site through the generous assistance of Doña Margarita Roxas de Ayala.[3] It served as the temporary cathedral or Pro-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Manila while the Manila Cathedral was being rebuilt from 1946 to 1958 due to its destruction in World War II. The church became the National Shrine for the Archangels in 1986.[2][4] The church follows a European Baroque architecture, and features its symmetrical bell towers.
Notable events
Former Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos and beauty queen Imelda Romualdez-Marcos got married in the Pro-cathedral on May 1, 1954. Their wedding was tagged as the Wedding of the Year.[6]
Archbishop Gabriel M. Reyes, Manila's first Filipino archibishop who served from 1949 to 1952, was first entombed in the National Shrine of St. Michael and the Archangels before his remains were transferred to Manila Cathedral.[1] Also buried in the church are the remains of Don Domingo Roxas, patriarch of the Zóbel-de Ayala-Roxas-Soriano clans.[3]
