Balabag Chruch Interior

The Holy Rosary Parish Boracay, also known as Balabag church, is a Catholic church located in Brgy. Balabag, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan. For faithful Catholics, this church is a must-visit place before or after going or leaving  the famous white beaches of Boracay. It can be found along the main road near the beach.  The church is one of the many attractions that Balabag can offer aside from the white beach resorts.

This place of worship holds services all days of the year although it does get very crowded with visitors during the Lenten season because it is a time where people usually have a vacation on the island. Visitors drop by the church to hear mass.

The church is very simple and functional in its design but still is quite charming. The church facade features a an image of Christ made in a colorful glass mosaic. The rock and coral wall with the crucifix are great touches accentuating the tropical ambience of the island. 

Balabag Church is really an ideal place for anyone who wish wishes to commune and spend some time in peace and contemplation.
