Gapan Church

The Minor Basilica and National Shrine of La Virgen Divina Pastora, known canonically as the Three Kings Parish and commonly known as Gapan Church, is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and national shrine in Gapan, Nueva Ecija in the Philippines that was founded in the 1500s. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Cabanatuan. It is one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in the country, and the oldest and the biggest colonial church in Nueva Ecija. The church has been a pilgrimage site for two patron saints of Gapan and also of Nueva Ecija; the Three Kings, and La Divina Pastora (Divine Shepherdess). In 1986, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines declared the church as a national shrine. In 2024, Pope Francis granted the title of Minor Basilica to the shrine.
