Before heading to Ocean Bay Beach Resort in Dalaguete, Cebu, I decided to visit one of the famous sacred church in Cebu, the Simala Church. Simala Shrine or the Monastery of the Holy Eucharist is located in Marian Hills, Lindongon, Sibonga, Cebu. The place is still on ongoing construction but once it is finished it will be even more beautiful. The shrine itself is huge and majestic.  The outside is a long stair and a castle structural church while in the inside is a life-size statues of Mama Mary. And you will also be overwhelmed reading those testimonials posted on the bulletin from people who have been cured or miraculously survived, serious illness and those who have successfully passed the National Licensure Examination.
