Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Church (Pulong Buhangin)

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, also known as Nuestra Señora del Carmen Parish, is a Roman Catholic church situated in Km. 38, Barangay Pulong Buhangin, Santa Maria, in the province of Bulacan, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Malolos and within the Vicariate of Santa Maria. Having been one of with rich history of origination, constant miracles and intercessions to her beloved land of Barrio Pulong Buhangin, and by the clamor of its devotees, the image has been granted with episcopal coronation on September 8, 2019. The devotees and parishioners fervently pray and excitingly await for the image to be granted with canonical coronation, and for the parish to be elevated to a diocesan shrine as the center of the brown scapular devotion in the Diocese. In February 2023, the image was accorded by the local government of Santa Maria with the title "Mother and Queen of Pulong Buhangin" by passing a resolution filed by Hon. Jess De Guzman, a municipal councilor. The resolution was based on the image's popularity among the parishioners and devotees, importance to the historical roots not only for Pulong Buhangin but also for Santa Maria, and several testimonies of miracles through the intercession of the our lady. The resolution was unanimously approved by the municipal council. To symbolize this historic moment, a badge with the logo of the municipal government was attached to the image. Barangay Pulong Buhangin celebrates its barrio fiesta every third Sunday of February to commemorate the arrival of the image of our lady, otherwise known as "translacion" to the barrio. The parish also celebrates the memorial of Our Lady of Mount Carmel every July 16.
