The Parish Church of Blessed Pedro Calungsod
Not known to many, if not most, of the people in Cebu is a new parish named in honor of Blessed Pedrong Calungsod located in Barangay Cantabaco, ToledoCity.
The parish came into existence in 2003 when a generous couple, Nonie and Jo Mapeso, donated a one hectare portion of their land to the Archdiocese of Cebu for a new church site adjacent to Springpark Mountain Resort in Cantabaco.
A new church started to rise with the help of the parishioners and kind donors when then Archbishop of Cebu Ricardo Cardinal Vidal officially declared the Blessed Pedro Calungsod a new parish on March 5, 2005 – said to be the first parish to honor the young martyr Pedro Calungsod.
The parishioners of the new parish of Blessed Pedro Calungsod are looking forward with great excitement to his canonization on October 21, 2012. This is a great day of the parish and they invite all people who love Blessed Pedro Calungsod to visit Blessed Pedrong Calungsod Parish Church during its festivities on October 21, 2012.
Donation for the completion of the parish church will be much appreciated. You may give your donation to the president or treasurer of the Parish Pastoral Council. For information and guidance, you may call (032) 325-2044 (Springpark Mountain Resort).
