there was no crowd in the early afternoon of a Sunday. perhaps Mass celebrations are scheduled later.
just like any other Catholic Churches in the country, this place of worship has a peaceful vibe and serenity. i whispered a thanksgiving prayer for setting foot for the first time.
the architecture is simple, nothing impressive compared to the baroque churches up north. its cream-colored facade devoid of any ornaments reflects that of the white ceiling inside which lacks any visual art as well.
there was a beggar carrying a sleeping child at the main door who was spewing expletives to the caretaker who was trying to make her leave. it was a painful sight.
i heard about an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary that happened here some decades ago. i had bo idea if this was recognized by the Church authorities.

Its a few minutes from the lipa public market. The compound is so clean, newly painted and the atmosphere s very calming. This is where the miraculous shower of petals happened. There is a convent beside the church and offertory candles can be found at the right side of the church.

I went there yesterday and found out that the schedule mass of Saturday 4pm that I saw on the internet was no longer available. I was disappointed so I just went around to view the place. Looking inside the chuch I said it was just the same as the other churches of the Carmelites I've been to. Not until I saw her image and prayed. My tears fell continuously for minutes! I couldn't help it but through that short period I knew she touched me! I didn't exactly know how long I've tried to stop my eyes from crying. I was only distracted when a girl came running by my side. Wiping my tears off my face, I moved on going around Her place, feeling that encounter in me. I could say the place was a solemn place to talk to God.

Located not far from the impressive metropolitan cathedral of Lipa City, this church is very simple in comparison. However, it has an interesting history since it is associated with an alleged apparition of the BVM in 1948. In the side chapel (on the left side of the main altar) you'll find a statue of the BVM associated with the said event. We would have loved to see the monastery adjacent to the church and its garden (where the said event happened), but it was closed when we visited the place. Anyway, do take some time to pray when you visit this church and not simply satisfy your curiosity.

We decided to go on a personal pilgrimage to see the Virgin of Lipa at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church and commuted all the way from Manila. All I can say is that it had been quite a beautiful experience. The moment we stepped inside its grounds, we could feel the warmth of the Mediatrix of all graces. We were able to attend the 7:30AM mass with a wonderful priest, say our most heartfelt prayers as well as see the original Marian apparition grounds. It was truly humbling to finally be able to behold that sacred place. In the end, we left our hearts in Lipa City.

The place is quiet and serene during off peak hours. Its very clean and the people are friendly.
The garden where the miracle happened is closed off to the public but can be viewed from a deck/prayer area that is so solemn. My mom, husband and I got goosebumps upon entering the area.
You need to go up 2 fights of stairs to get to the deck but they have a lift of sorts for the sick and elderly.
A store for religious articles is available within the area.
Will definitely go back there soo.

This is a nice church to visit when you are in Batangas (right before heading to the resorts). The choir sings beautifully, the priest is very much close to the community and the religious "culture" is wam.
Definitely a place of worship that I would want to visit again when I am around the area.
