Saint Gregory the Great Parish serves Ginatilan, a small coastal town in southwestern Cebu better known among travelers for Aguinid Falls, a multi-tiered waterfall a short distance inland that draws canyoneering groups on their way to or from Kawasan Falls in nearby Badian. The church carries Jubilee Church status for the Catholic Church’s 2025 Holy Year, Pilgrims of Hope, meaning visitors who fulfill the usual conditions — confession, Communion, prayer for the Pope’s intentions — can obtain a plenary indulgence here through the year. It functions as Ginatilan’s parish center first and a pilgrimage stop second, so weekday visits are quieter than the Mass schedule would suggest.
