Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincula has approved a petition made by Quiapo Church rector Fr. Rufino Sescon Jr, to elevate the parish into an archdiocesan shrine.“We hereby decree that the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene – St John the Baptist Parish , be conferred the title of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Black Nazarene,” His Eminence said.
