Visiting Agtalin Shrine in Pilar, Capiz
Just recently, I went to Pilar, Capiz with fellow bloggers Junelle and Marc after the One Visayas Expo to visit the Agtalin Shrine.
The Agtalin Shrine is the home of the highest Marian statue in Asia. The Mirculous Medal statue is 50 feet high and was built on top of the Agtalin Hill Chapel. It is also overlooking the coast of Pilar Bay.
Climbing up to the Shrine is not that easy. Imagine taking 185 steps but it was worth the climb, not just for the view but also for our faith. It was really a great experience esp. that I’m a member(devotee) of the Legion of Mary since my elementary years. And learning about the story behind the place was really inspiring.
Thousands of devotees visit the Agtalin Shrine every first saturday of the month to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and for the healing Mass/prayer for the sick. Well, here’s the list of the schedule of Activities in Agtalin Shrine during First Saturday of the Month. Hope this can help you in planning your trip.

7:00 AM Recitation of the Holy Rosary
7:30 AM Confession, Catechism, Sharing
