This church, aside from being incredibly beautiful, is where Bl. Miguel Pro’s remains are kept, to the right of the main altar. His funeral procession passed in front of this church, though we are not sure if he had a funeral here.

This museum contains many of Bl. Miguel Pro’s personal belongings, including cassocks, vestments, the suit he was shot in, and the cot where he slept the night before his martyrdom. The location of Fr. Pro’s arrest appears to be unknown, but the location of his martyrdom is known. Author’s Note The hours are rather strange: certain days of the week in the middle of the day.

At this site, where an outdoor short stairway stands on the lottery building, is the site where Bl. Miguel Pro was martyred by firing squad. These buildings were all built since that time. Author’s Note Across the street, a bit above head level, is a commemerative plaque on the restaurant. The restaurant is owned by a Catholic family who provide information on Bl. Miguel Pro. -JPY
