our family get away


Pink Sister's Convent


Tagaytay is the home of many catholic monasteries the most popular are the convent of divine mercy which is the place of adoration of the Pink Sister are located..


The Pink Sister  or holy spirit Adoration Sisters are Strictly contemplative nuns their life center in praying and worshiping God ..Pink Sister takes turn to pray and vigil 24 hours a day , 7 days a week .

How to go  to Pink Sisters Chapel ?


Take South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and exit at Sta. Rosa. Then take Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road going to Tagaytay City until you reach the Crossing after Tagaytay Market and then turn right. And another turn right upon reaching the Tagaytay Rotunda to Aguinaldo Hi-way (Manila-bound). Then a few minutes turn right at Arnoldus Road  another landmark are the " The Banquet Restaurant " beside the arnoldus road..  





The first think I noticed when i enter the convent are the silence so peaceful inside even at the garden.

     you can see the signboard every where ..No taking picture inside..Please turn off your camera..Please turn off your cellphone ..to remind the visitor ..The silence inside chapel and the deep reverence of the Pink Sisters made the holiness of the Holy Eucharist more profound. After praying in front of the Holy Eucharist, we wrote our prayer intentions on a piece paper and left in a drop box. I believe that all Prayers answers because of the deep prayers of the Nuns..Have Faith to him and everything will be OK...:-)



 The community of the Pink Sisters was founded by the German priest Blessed Arnold Janssen. He set up the Pink Sisters to support by prayers and sacrifice the first two missionary foundations that he established. Now, the Pink Sisters is a well known society of contemplative nuns with convents located in different parts of the world, including the one in Tagaytay City.
