PLM Chapel

The Shrine of Jesus, the Divine Teacher, commonly known as PLM Chapel, is a Roman Catholic church largely used by students and employees of PLM. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Manila. One side of the church houses a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary as the Immaculate Conception, patroness of the City of Manila and of the Philippines, while another side chapel is dedicated to Saint Joseph.
Apart from San Agustin Church and Manila Cathedral, it is one of the nine churches within the walled city of Intramuros in downtown Manila which is popular for people doing the Visita Iglesia during Holy Week.
