2. The Archdiocesan Shrine of Jesus, the Way the Truth & the
Life and Pope John Paul II Youth Center is a fulfillment of the
dream of late Pope John Paul II to have a center for the young
people as he expressed during the World Youth Day
celebration in 1995. The Shrine and the Youth Center is a
fitting monument to the unprecedented attendance to the Holy
Father’s Eucharistic Celebration at the Luneta Park, wherein
more than six million people from all walks of life, from
different corners of the world gathered, to join the said
celebration. In the Pope’s message to the young people in
attendance, he highlighted that Jesus is the Way the Truth and
the Life.
3. The Shrine of Jesus is a project of the Archbishop of
Manila, the late Jaime L. Cardinal Sin, DD whose love for the
Youth is of the same fervor and intensity as the Holy Father.
The land and the church was donated and built by Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Sy Sr., of the Shoe Mart Group of Companies. It
was consecrated and dedicated on July 9, 1999 by the late
Eminence Jaime L. Cardinal Sin, DD; with His
Excellency, Archbishop Antonio Franco, DD, the Apostolic
Nuncio; His Eminence, Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal, DD
Archbishop of Cebu, the Archbishops and Bishops of the
Philippines in the presence of a very large number of the
faithful specially the youth as witness to this momentous
event. On the same day, the first Shrine rector was installed in
the person of Rev. Msgr. Roberto C. Canlas.
4. In October of the same year, the Shrine celebrated its first
fiesta with the Pauline Sisters Family with the simple blessing
of its business office. This year, October 26 marks the 10th
Fiesta celebration of the Shrine of Jesus the Way the Truth
and the Life however instead of simply organizing festivities to
celebrate this occasion, our Rector and few volunteers
individuals decided to stage a benefit-concert mainly for the
benefit of the pediatric cancer patients of the Philippine
General Hospital linking the very vision of the late Cardinal Sin
for his love for of the Youth and as a way of bringing giving
back the glory to God who is our source of inspiration and the
many blessings that God has bestowed to the community of
the Shrine of Jesus continue to receive.

situation, changes after changes and milestone
