Obando's main Roman Catholic church, rebuilt in its original Spanish-era design following World War II destruction. Unlike most churches, it is dedicated to three patron saints, namely St. Pascual Baylon, St. Claire of Assisi and the indigenous Our Lady of Salambao.
The Obando Fertility Rites are performed on Sundays following the 8AM Mass and the feast day of Our Lady of Salambao on May 19. Following the performances, the staff will offer free eggs, a symbol of fertility associated with St. Claire. There is also an ecclesiastical museum on the second floor of the convent building and a souvenir store.
The San Pascual Baylón Parish and National Shrine of Nuestra Señora de la Immaculada Concepción de Salambáo, commonly known as Obando Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in the municipality of Obando in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Malolos.
