DAGUPAN CITY, Pangasinan – The fourth legislative district of Pangasinan is preparing to welcome Catholic devotees for the traditional Visita Iglesia pilgrimage during Holy Week 2026. The practice involves visiting multiple churches to pray and reflect.
Key historic churches in the district, including those in the municipalities of Mangaldan, San Fabian, and San Jacinto, are expected to be open for worship. The Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag, a major pilgrimage site in the province, is also a central destination for the observance.
Local authorities and church officials typically coordinate to ensure safety, traffic management, and facilities for the influx of visitors. The Visita Iglesia is a significant religious and cultural tradition observed across the Philippines during the Lenten season.
