Baguio Cathedral, formally known as the Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located at Cathedral Loop adjacent to Session Road in Baguio, the Philippines, and is the see of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Baguio.

Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Atonement, its distinctive exterior, twin spires and stained glass windows make it a popular tourist attraction in Baguio. It served as an evacuation center under the Japanese Occupation during Second World War.

The cathedral has a distinctive façade with a rose window and twin square belfries with pyramidal roofs. Within its large courtyard is a viewing deck that overlooks Session Road and the downtown commercial district of Baguio.

The cathedral is accessible to pedestrians from Session Road via 104-step stone staircase that ends at a Calvary, or through the adjacent campus of Saint Louis University.

A mural on the cathedral grounds, carved by Baguio artist Clinton Pagao Aniversario in 2017, honors the missionaries of the Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae (CICM) who first began Roman Catholic evangelical work in Mountain Province in the 1900s, and were eventually instrumental in the building of the cathedral.

🍓 Hey, Liketu Fam! It has been awhile since my last blog, and probably you now know why. I've traveled the past few days and I am keen on sharing with you how my trip has been!🩷

This will be the first of many blogs about my #Been2Baguio series❄️ Our very first stop was this Cathedral, which is why I'm sharing it with you first.🤗

The structure of the church is quite remarkable, don't you agree? It is similar with churches you see in Rome (never been but I've seen photos off of the internet you know).

The gang was happy it was our first destination. We prayed for a safe trip for all of us and we also thanked the Lord for bringing us safe and sound to Baguio. 🤍
