Built on 2012, Regina RICA has become a pilgrimage center that gathers many people to experience the peace, prayerful atmosphere and the presence of Our Lady, Regina Rosarii, on top of the hill.
St. Mary Magdalene Parish in Pililla was built by the Franciscans in 1583.

In 2001, it was declared as a National Cultural Treasure Church by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.
St. Joseph Parish is one of the oldest churches in Baras, Rizal, having been completed in 1686. The town was transferred to Ibayo in 1636 but returned to the present site in 1682.

Its distinct Baroque Architectural design distinguishes Saint Joseph Parish from other churches in Rizal.
St. Jerome Parish in Morong, Rizal is famous for its impressive facade, octagonal belfry– whose large bell’s lifting reportedly still remains a mystery because of the seemingly impossible ascent through the church’s narrow staircase–and the bullet holes and pockmarks on the church walls left by a gun battle between Spanish Guardia Civil and Katipuneros (Filipino insurgents) during the 1896 Spanish Revolution.
