Saint Francis of Assisi Naga

Saint Francis of Assisi Parish sits in Naga City, an industrial city on Cebu’s southwest coast built up around cement production — several of the province’s cement plants operate along this stretch, which shapes the local economy more than tourism does. The Archdiocese designated it a Jubilee Church for the 2025 Pilgrims of Hope, meaning pilgrims completing the prescribed visit can obtain a plenary indulgence, the standard provision at Jubilee churches everywhere. The dedication is to Francis of Assisi, the 13th-century friar remembered today as the patron of animals and the natural environment. For travelers routing through Naga on the way south, it’s a working parish stop rather than a heritage-architecture destination.
