Saint Francis of Assisi Parish anchors the town center of Dumanjug, on Cebu’s southwestern coastal route between Barili and the Moalboal-Badian corridor — a stretch most travelers heading south pass through without stopping. The Catholic Church named it a pilgrim site for the 2025 Jubilee Year, Pilgrims of Hope, so visitors who complete the standard conditions here — confession, Communion, and prayer for the Holy Father’s intentions — can receive a plenary indulgence through the year. Mass schedules follow the parish’s own calendar, so it’s worth checking ahead if the visit is built around a specific liturgy rather than a quiet look at the church itself.
