Santuario Eucaristico 4.64

Santuario Eucharistico (Archdiocesan Shrine of the Holy Eucharist)

Through the dynamic pastorship of Fr. Joel Lasutaz, SSS, who came in
October 2005 to serve God’s people, the community was inspired to fill their
hungers on the Holy Eucharist. His determination has moved everyone to promote a life of loving Jesus who is actively, really present in the Eucharist.
Moreover, its communal devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus lead them to love
Jesus’ beating heart in this august Sacrament of Love; for the Sacred Heart of
Jesus is the Holy Eucharist itself.

Consultations with the Archdiocesan Council and Archbishop
Ledesma were pastorally done in response to certain needs. Though canonical
requirements of establishing a shrine were not imposed, on August 2, 2008,
with the Decree of Canonical Erection of the new Sacred Heart Parish signed by
the Archbishop of Cagayan de Oro, the Most Rev. Antonio J. Ledesma, SJ, DD,
the parish church was also granted the designation as the Archdiocesan Shrine
of the Holy Eucharist.
