Retreat Houses: Holy Spirit Shrine

Holy Spirit Shrine Travel

The road may look foggy and things may seem uncertain. But one thing is for sure - HE WHO BRINGS YOU TO IT WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH IT. Let the Holy spirit be your Guide.

This saying is famous and it’s true it happened to me when I was invited to visit to Holy Spirit Shrine located in Iligan city. This is the first time I traveled to this place and I really felt nervous but with the prayer and trusting the Holy Spirit to guide me I successfully reached the place fine and safe.

Where is Iligan City? And How to get there.

The first thing that will come into your mind is to think where is really Iigan City and how to get there. Laguindingan Airport is the main airport that serves the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, as well as the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Lanao del Norte and Bukidnon in Northern Mindanao, Philippines.

Based on my travel experience, from Manila I travel by plane via Cebu Pacific Airline and landed at Laguindingan airport in Cagayan de Oro. Upon exiting the arrival gate area at the airport I go straight to the ticketing area for van of super five bus and paid P195.00 including bus transfer fare from Laguindingan bus terminal to Integrated Bus Terminal at Iligan City.

If you noticed, there is a bus transfer from the airport it’s because Laguindingan Airport is quite far from the main city of Iligan. It takes 5 – 8 minutes for the super five van going to Laguindingan bus terminal and 2 hours super five bus travel to Integrated bus terminal at Iligan City. You can also take a boat via To go Travel but it takes 3 days to arrive at Iligan City from Manila.

The Holy Spirit Shrine

It’s a blessings that I was invited to this place for a search in seminar. This place is located at mountainous area of Pindungangan, Tipanoy Iligan City. You can reach this place via habal-habal, taxi or private car. There is no jeepney that passes by on this place only habal –habal ride for P100 from the city proper of Iligan. There are a lots of habal-habal terminal in the city like near Gaisano Mall, infront of Robinson’s mall and many other places in the streets.

Amenities at Holy Spirit Shrine

Once you arrived at Holy Spirit Shrine you will be amazed by it’s beautiful location and the place is also a venue for retreats and other spiritual activities. They have a chapel inside which offer mass to the public every Thursday at 5:30 pm and Sunday at 10am. There is also a small store in front for those who want to avail souvenirs from this place.

They have also a pre school building in front the street for free to students in that community.
