WHAT MIRACLE LED TO SAINT PEDRO CALUNGSOD’S CANONIZATION?

The miracle that led to the canonization of Saint Pedro Calungsod was the inexplicable recovery of Mamerta Telen, a 49-year-old woman who suffered severe brain damage due to a lack of oxygen following heart surgery in Cebu in 2003.

She was in a deep coma, with no expected chance of such rapid recovery. Her attending physician invoked Blessed Pedro Calungsod’s intercession, and she regained consciousness and recovered without lasting neurological damage.

After a thorough investigation, the Church declared the healing scientifically inexplicable and attributed it to Pedro’s intercession. Pope Benedict XVI approved the miracle on December 19, 2011, paving the way for Pedro’s canonization on October 21, 2012.

Saint Pedro Calungsod, help us to become Saints like you! Amen.

SAINT PEDRO CALUNGSOD, PRAY FOR US!
14TH CANONIZATION ANNIVERSARY

Saint Pedro Calungsod, student, catechist, young migrant, missionary, faithful friend, martyr, you inspire us by your fidelity in time of adversity; by your courage in teaching the Faith in the midst of hostility; and by your love in shedding your blood for the sake of the Gospel.

Make our prayers your own (pause to mention your intentions) and intercede for us before the throne of Mercy and Grace so that, as we experience the help of Heaven, we may be encouraged to live and proclaim the Gospel here on earth.
Amen.

Saint Pedro Calungsod, Help us to become Saints like you!

As we celebrate the life and legacy of our beloved San Pedro Calungsod, may we carry his spirit of devotion and sacrifice into our everyday lives, trusting that with God, our faith will never be in vain.

NOVENA IN HONOR OF SAN PEDRO

Ninth Day: Dying for the Faith

O San Pedro Calungsod, after four years of faithfully following the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ through a wholehearted service to God and fellowmen in the difficult Mariana Mission, you finally reached the peak of the Calvary of suffering. Your devout communion withy our Lord in the celebrations of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was never in vain because you had become what you received: a pleasing sacrifice to God. The hatred for the Faith for those who refused to believe fell on you. But the many poisoned spears and the sharp cutlass did not overcome your strong love for God. You steadfastly held on to your faith in the face of a barbarous death until you won the palm of martyrdom and the crown of eternal life.

O fortunate lad! O hero of our Faith! Even though the grace of martyrdom is granted only to some, help us still to give witness to our Christian Faith as we try to accept and bear the daily hardships in life for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Teach us to be constant and steadfast in faith until death. Encourage us always with the thought that those who devoutly receive our Lord in the Holy Eucharist will never be afraid to die because he will be raised up to life on the last day.

And when the hour of death comes, do not forsake us until we reach the eternal Kingdom promised to those who faithfully followed Christ. Join us now as we pray for those who are persecuted on account of the Christian Faith, for the grace of final perseverance in the faith of the dying, and the eternal response of those who have died.

Pray Our Father; Hail Mary & Glory be...

San Pedro Calungsod, Pray for Us!💚❤️

“Apil Ta, Bati Ta, Kat-on Ta!”

The Parish Youth Mental Health Day 2026 continued with Session 2: Gestalt Marathon, held last October 10! Through an experiential and interactive series of activities, youth participants were encouraged to actively participate, become more aware of their emotions, reflect on their experiences, and learn meaningfully from one another.

The Gestalt Marathon brought the participants through six meaningful stations, each highlighting essential life skills that contribute to personal development, emotional awareness, and stronger relationships:

✨ Leadership – Learning to guide, inspire, and work together.

💬 Communication – Expressing thoughts and feelings while listening with understanding.

🤝 Decision Making – Making thoughtful choices and taking responsibility for our actions.

💪 Resilience – Finding strength, adapting to challenges, and rising above difficulties.

🎨 Creativity – Exploring ideas, expressing oneself, and discovering new possibilities.

🌱 Initiative – Taking the first step, embracing responsibility, and turning ideas into action.

With the guidance of our dedicated facilitators, the youth were given opportunities to discover their strengths, appreciate different perspectives, and build meaningful connections with their fellow participants. More than just a series of activities, the Gestalt Marathon served as a reminder that growth begins when we actively participate, become aware of ourselves, and remain open to learning from others.

As part of the pre-fiesta activities for the upcoming Fiesta of San Pedro Calungsod, Patron of the Youth, the Parish Youth Coordinating Council continues to champion a community where mental well-being, faith, compassion, and personal growth go hand in hand.

Because taking care of our mental health also means learning to understand ourselves, connect with others, and grow together in faith and love.

As we draw closer to celebrating the life and martyrdom of our beloved San Pedro Calungsod, may this novena renew our faith, deepen our commitment to God, and inspire us to become living witnesses of His goodness and mercy in our daily lives.

San Pedro Calungsod, pray for us. 🙏

NOVENA IN HONOR OF SAN PEDRO

Eight Day: Leaving Sin Behind

O San Pedro Calungsod, the threat of death did not stop you from continuing your mission to spread the Christian Faith in the Marianas. Instead, you gained courage by being prepared always to face the Divine Judge through a regular and frequent reception of the Sacrament of Confession.

O young and pure of heart, make us understand that sin is the real cause of our anxieties and sadness. Teach us to acknowledge our sins and to be truly sorry for them. Guide us toward a regular and frequent reception of the loving mercy and forgiveness of God in the Sacrament of Confession. Encourage us to do penance for the good of our souls. With pure hearts may we share our joy in contemplating the face of God, in eternity. Join us now as we pray for the conversion of hardened sinners.

Pray Our Father; Hail Mary & Glory be...

San Pedro Calungsod, Pray for Us!💚❤️

NOVENA IN HONOR OF SAN PEDRO

Seventh Day: Being a True Friend

O San Pedro Calungsod, your strong faith and deep love for our Lord made you loyal to your friend, Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores in the midst of hardships and dangers in the Mariana Mission. In the face of a violent death, you did not betray or forsake him, just as you never denied Christ nor left the Faith in the midst of persecutions. Instead, you remained beside that holy priest supporting him up to your last breath.

O true friend of Blessed Diego Luis, help us to be true to our friends and to seek only their welfare. Teach us to love them in the way Christ loves each one of us. Defend and keep us away from false friends who only want to take advantage of us and to ruin our lives, so that we may not lose the way to true happiness. Join us now as we pray for the sanctification of our friends, for the reconciliation of those who are not in good terms with each other, for the consolation of the orphans and the lonely, and for the protection of the youth from false friendship.

Pray Our Father; Hail Mary & Glory be...

San Pedro Calungsod, Pray for Us!💚❤️
