The Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Guadalupe, Cebu City is embarking on a Love project involving the construction of a P1.7-million parish center.

Msgr. Jose S. Montecillo, parish priest, said the ground floor of the facility will house the offices and conference hall, while the upper floor will be the priests’ quarter.
