Ideal for Retreats and Solemn Weddings
Oct 2020 • Friends
The solemn beauty of this place is mesmerizing. The location is ideal for retreats and solemn weddings. Tourists and travelers would take 10-15 minutes drive from Malaybalay City.

An Awesome Experience
May 2019
When you passes by the City of Pines in Malaybalay City, it is a must to see the well manicured landscaped of this monastery being maintained and sustained by the monks. Try also to have a sip of their coffee.

Wonderful, I wish I can go back.

I could not seem to take my eyes off of the infrastructure. The place was incredibly solemn, and even more so because it was quiet, even though a lot of people attended the mass. The choir was phenomenal as well. I left the monastery a humbled person. I thanked God for the good experience.

Place for prayer and contemplation
Jun 2019 • Family
I came here with my friend’s family to visit this place wherein they have a chapel within its grounds.

The chapel is well designed and well maintained.

Going here is a long drive and there is no public transportation coming here. You will need to drive or rent a vehicle.

Beautiful retreat experience. Peace and prayer
Jun 2019 • Solo
The first time I saw the Church was in 2012. It was a beautiful hidden monastery in the middle of nowhere with access via a dirt road. I have returned several times already and have done retreats there over the years. Until now, the place does not disappoint. It is always wonderful to visit, watch the monks in prayer, enjoy the cool mountain air and drink their premium monk’s blend coffee. There has been so much progress over the years and the place is more easily accessible already and the masses are now well attended. They have a museum of liturgical vestments made from local tribes and artisans that is also a must visit.

Sacred Zen
Jan 2019 • Family
I love passing by the Monastery during my Bukidnon travels. It is situated away from the city noise, hence I consider it a solemn haven for those who intend to meditate. I spoke with Fr Dom during one of my visits and he blessed me, we talked about forgiveness and happiness. I came in with a heavy load and left free from the burden of stress. I really love it there ❤

Quiet place
Mar 2018 • Friends
It’s a quiet place where you can pause for awhile and pose for a few pictures you can definitely post online. If you happen to have time, stop for a quick visit.

Unexpected Zen Focus of Church and Grounds
Aug 2018 • Friends
As Taoist, I was pleasantly surprised at the strong Zen influence of this Catholic Monastery in Bukidnon, close to Malaybaly City. We saw a beautiful wedding on our Saturday visit, and on Sunday we visited after Mass, and it is an obvious attraction for locals as well as tourists.

Solemn place to recollect
Aug 2018 • Friends
We drop off to see this place, it was very calm and solemn if you want to meditate and be with yourself to recollect or retreat. We went to their souvenir shop and bought tokens- they have few sorts like bracelet, rosary, goodies - pulvoron, nuts, etc.
