Saints Peter and Paul Parish: Calasiao, Pangasinan

Saints Peter and Paul Parish Church is commonly known as Calasiao Church. It is a baroque church located in Poblacion West, Calasiao, Pangasinan. It belongs to the Vicariate of Sts. Peter and Paul under the Ecclesiastical Province of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan.

The Spanish-colonial-era church was declared an National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. It is one of the largest church in Pangasinan.  

As one of the baroque churches in the Philippines, the Parish Church of Saints Peter and Paul has been at the forefront of the Philippine history - Spanish colonial rule. Its unique architectural design reflects the Spanish and Latin American architecture integration of indigenous Philippine works of art with Chinese fusion.

Guardians of the Family campaign was established for the renovation and reconstruction of the parish church after a devastating typhoon on 1887 that damaged 1/4 of the roof on the west side of the church.

Adoration Chapel

The church is huge. I was able to walk around the vicinity of the cathedral. I find it interesting to see a mini chapel in an open area under an old tree beside the church. There is also a place wherein pilgrims can light candles where they can solemnly pray.

I highly suggest a visit to this church if you are going to Urdaneta City in Pangasinan. After attending a mass, you may walk across the street and head to the public market to buy cheap vegetables and pasalubongs.
