ABOUT BINONDO CHURCH

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish or The Minor Basilica and National Shrine of San Lorenzo Ruiz (or simply Binondo Church) is a Baroque-style Catholic Church located in the oldest Chinatown in the world- Binondo, City of Manila. The church was first built in 1596 by Dominican priests designated outside Intramuros to serve their Chinese Christian converts in Binondo. The original design of Binondo Church was designed by Spanish architect Domingo De La Cruz Gonzales using the elements of Spanish and European Baroque architectural styles. The church was suffered from earthquakes and war over the years, but eventually, it was restored with the retaining of its octagonal tower (that was based on the Chinese tradition of luck and fortune), and facade and walls in three phases until 1984. One notable personality from Binondo Church that became the first Filipino Saint in the name of St. Lorenzo Ruiz, who served as an altar boy and clerk for the church. Today, masses in Binondo Church are held in three languages: Filipino, Chinese (Mandarin and Hokkien since there are Filipino-Chinese and Chinese residents in the area), and English (for other foreigners who are participating in the mass).
