The Blessed Pedro Calungsod Parish. How it all started.

The Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Parish in Barangay Lutopan, Toledo City, serving the parishioners of DAS, Camp 7, Camp 8, Udlom-Loay and Cantabaco has become too small a parish over its parishioners tremendous growth in number through the years. With such growth and the development of the devotion to the Blessed Pedro Calungsod, the first Visayan Saint, among the faithful, the very first parish church honoring his name is now on its on going construction in Barangay Cantabaco, to further develop the devotion and to accomodate the growth of parishioners.

With God's Blessing, a one hectare lot for the purpose came to the hands of the Archdiocese of Cebu through a benevolent donor, spouses Arch't. Servillano Mapeso and Josephine Mapeso and family, just beside Springpark Mountain Resort. Amidst the lush greenery and the exotic floras and centuries old acacia trees with the magnificent view of Mount Uling as its backdrop and it overlooks the white marble cliffs of the scenec Cantabaco Valley. A churcg fostering serenity and peacefulness. A church in harmony and in communion with God's creation. a church to honor our youthfulness of faith.

His Emminence Ricardo J. Vidal has gladly approved the proposed plan for the church buliding. What remains wanting though is the needed funds which to cemmence the noble project. The parishioners and the pastoral council is appealing to us to share some of our financial blessings and join them in buliding, the first parish church honoring the young messionary catechist from Cebu, the patron of the Filipino youth, young migrant, student, loyal friend and martyr....Viva! Beato Pedro!
