Nueva Segovia Archbishop Marlo Peralta made the announcement during the recent opening of the church’s Jubilee Door and three years since the parish was declared Archdiocesan Shrine of Sto. Cristo Milagroso.
A Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines News post said, the formal elevation rites will be held on September 10 this year, to coincide with the feast of St. Nicholas.
The parish is the first minor basilica in the archdiocese and the second in the Ilocos region.
The designation is granted to churches around the world in recognition of their special pastoral and liturgical significance in Catholic life, and their closeness to the Pope, the CBCP said.

The pilgrim’s prayer upon entering the Jubilee Door is as follows:
“Lord Jesus Christ, the door to the Kingdom of God, the sheep gate to the eternal life, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As we visit the sacred place, draw us more deeply into Your presence and the wonders of Your love for us. We thank You, Lord, for the gift of faith brought to our beloved land five hundred years ago. Help us persevere in fruitful penance, faith that does justice and sincere charity, and lead us to a more fervent living out of the faith. You who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.”
