The contemporary design boasts a simple prayerful atmosphere. Handcrafted stained-glass is spread throughout the church overlooking the central altar that can be seen from all angles. The 50 year-old structure embodies the faith brought by Blessed Diego and his companion martyr Blessed Pedro Calungsod in 1669. Named after “The Sweet Name of Mary” (Dulce Nombre de Maria), the house of religious splendor is also home to Santa Marian Kamalen, patroness of Guam and the Marianas. Your visit to the Cathedral-Basilica is most welcomed! Si Yu’us Ma’ase for being a part of us. |
The Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica stands in the capital of Hagatña and serves as the Mother Church for the Archdiocese of Agaña. As a “model church” for parishes and faith communities, it is where the Archbishop celebrates the Catholic Church’s most sacred liturgies with clergy, religious and the lay community. |
