Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish

Our Lady of the Annunciation Parish Church: Shrine of the Incarnation is a parish church located at St. Dominic III Subdivision, Mindanao Avenue, Barangay Tandang Sora, Quezon City 1116, Philippines. It is part of the Roman Catholic Church under the Pope.The parish was founded in 1992 by Jaime Cardinal Sin, who also installed Jaime M. Zurbano, Jr. as the first parish priest. The name Our Lady of the Annunciation was suggested by Msgr. Arsenio Bautista.Before the establishment of the said parish, the faithful used to go to the San Nicolas de Tolentino (Philippines). The chapels under their (Augustinian Recollect Fathers) jurisdiction include the Jem 9, Landcom, and Banlat chapels, and the Saint Vincent Seminary chapel of the Vincentian Fathers.In 1991, Saint Charbel chapel was designated their main place of worship by Msgr. Josefino Ramirez, V.G. and installed Fr. Jun Zurbano as chaplain.Saint Charbel chapel could no longer fully accommodate the growing number of people. Hence, Fr. Jun helped in building a new place of worship in a new site at Saint Dominic 3 Subdivision along Mindanao Avenue. 50% of the total land area of 1,111 square meter was donated by the Geraldez Family and the other half was given by the Archdiocese of Manila. The population of the parish is now approximately 60,000 covering 35 subdivisions and villages in Barangay Tandang Sora.The construction of the new parish church formally started with a ground-breaking ceremony on October 1991 officiated by Cardinal Sin. It was not until February 1993, however, when the foundation and the main structures were started by Architect Luis Nicanor Aguirre IV and Associates, Engineer Benjie Reyes and the TERP Construction Company.
