Type: religious-site
Saint Therese of the Child Jesus Parish sits in Lahug, an uptown Cebu City barangay that’s grown into one of the city’s business districts — Cebu IT Park sits inside the same barangay, which makes this one of the few Jubilee churches on this list surrounded by office towers rather than a farm town or highway. 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 Thérèse of Lisieux, the 19th-century French Carmelite known as “the Little Flower,” whose “Little Way” spirituality — holiness through small, deliberate daily acts rather than grand gestures — made her one of the most widely venerated saints of the modern Church. For anyone working or staying in the IT Park area, it’s a walkable option for daily Mass rather than a heritage-architecture stop.
