I'm with my boyfriend's family on our trip going to Simala Church last month. They accompanied me on their family outing and I feel so happy and blessed to have his family. They've always been so kind to me and welcoming that I feel like part of there family they never make me feel behind. They are treating me as if I'm part of their own family. I’m so touched and it really means the world to me it really melts my heart. I truly blessed how they are includes me in everything wherever they are and whatever they do they always invite me and it makes me feel loved and accepted. Moments like this remind me how lucky am I to have this wonderful people around me.

I’ll gonna give you some history of Simala Church way back to 1990s when the Marian devotees in the area and wanted to establish a shrine dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and want to name the Miraculous Virgin of Simala. It is small chapel was first made in the area way back on 1998, and the chapel eventually became a known and significant pilgrimage site due to spread out that it became a miraculous healings and favors granted through the Virgin Mary’s intercession thats way many people devoted and visit to this church. The church began as a small, humble structure but has been expanded due to the many visitors that have been devoted to this church. By the early 2000s, the structure grew and expanded it became a beautiful church with the help of donations from pilgrims and devotees.
