Marikina Shrine becomes first minor basilica in the Philippines under new pope
Manila Bulletin
|May 23, 2025
The Diocesan Shrine and Parish of St. Paul of the Cross in Marikina City has been officially elevated to the status of a minor basilica, marking a historic first under the papacy of Pope Leo XIV.
CBCP News, in a post on May 20, announced that the Vatican's Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued the decree on May 13, 2025, in response to a petition filed by Antipolo Bishop Ruperto Cruz Santos in December 2024, during the final months of Pope Francis’ pontificate.
The decree was granted just five days after Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as Pope Leo XIV.
The designation makes the shrine the second minor basilica in the Diocese of Antipolo, joining the Basilica of St. John the Baptist in Taytay, which received the same honor in early 2024.
