The Cathedral of St. Sebastian is known simply as “Katedral.” It stands tall right in the heart of Lipa City, among its bustling streets, young and bright students, great-looking women, and its courteous and hospitable elders. Owing to its accessibility, the church itself is rarely empty, even when there isn’t mass. During Sundays, the Holy Celebration is held almost every other hour, Katedral is filled to its brims, and Batangueño’s brave the heat inside this centuries-old testament to the Christian faith.
