Baclaran Church, Roman Catholic shrine on Roxas Boulevard in Parañaque, Philippines.

The National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help features modern Romanesque architecture and includes a main altar displaying Marian icons and a belfry with 24 bells.

The Redemptorist Order priests brought the original icon from Germany in 1906, establishing first a shrine in Malate before relocating to Baclaran in 1932.

Every Wednesday, known as Baclaran Day, approximately 150,000 devotees gather at the shrine to participate in novenas and masses throughout the day.

The church opens daily for multiple masses in Tagalog and English, with confessions available on Wednesdays from 5:30 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 7:30 PM.

The shrine houses the Bantayog ng mga Desaparecido memorial, recognized by UNESCO in 2019, commemorating victims of human rights violations during the Marcos period.
