We all are Riobamba and Ecuador United for the internal restoration of La Basílica!
News and current activities
Our Basílica faces an urgent need for restoration and requires your donations and personal involvement. Here, you can find some of the activities that we currently make to raise the $ 253,098.73 USD that we need (updated budget for 2025). Be a part of the restoration of this cultural heritage of our country and our memory! You can also propose and perform activities in coordination with the “Commission for Administration, Activities, and Accountability”!
The 20th of each month we remember our Madre Dolorosa, referent of love. Alumni of San Felipe Neri show their gratitude and participate at the end of the Mass, before the hymn, to motivate donations for the internal restoration of our Basílica.
