The Cathedral-Basilica Minore and Parish of the Immaculate Conception,[a] commonly known as Malolos Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and cathedral in the city of Malolos, Bulacan in the Philippines. The cathedral is the see of the Bishop of Malolos, a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Manila. The shrine is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception.
Pope John XXIII granted the decree Christi Fidelium Consulere which elevated the shrine as a Cathedral on November 25, 1962. Pope John Paul II later raised the shrine to the status of Minor Basilica via decree on April 9, 1999.[2] Pope Benedict XVI granted a Pontifical decree of coronation towards its enshrined Marian image on May 11, 2011. The image was canonically crowned on March 10, 2012.[2]
