I enjoyed celebration of my nth birthday by fulfilling my wish to go to a very peaceful place , a church so beautiful and serene. I felt I’m near to heaven, near to God, one of the blessed places in the world – the Caleruega Church. Located in Nasugbu, Batangas, in a little bit off to Tagaytay City.
Just entering the place, you can see a colorful place of pathways with rows of flowers and a wonderful green hills and landscape, in many directions are breathtaking sceneries. The chapel, is in the top of the hill, it ‘s not so big , but the whole place ,you’ll really feel close to nature, closer to God, in a peaceful beautiful paradise! It’s is a good place to be peace and quite for better meditation. It is a “home amidst the beauty of nature where pilgrims are open to prayer, to creative transformation, to Gospel values.”
Throughout the years, the place was known for religious purposes. It is a perfect hideaway for retreats and recollections. It has been a venue for many activities, leadership seminars and trainings , prayers and renewal workshops, youth camps, research, family / religious encounters.
And at present, it is also the favorite for weddings and most exciting moments for the wedding photoshoot!
There is a reception area in the entrance . Caleruega has many conference rooms; Reflectory Hall; Transfiguration Chapel; a 180-capacity dining hall; the Tuktok Snacks Bar and the Plaza de Aza, that is a roof deck which can be used as big-group gatherings ; dormitories called Catalina Hall and Tomasino Hall; Pahingalayan and Fra Angelico family rooms and hermitage cottages ; Gazekubo, for a wedding reception and a campsite called Kampo Arriba.
What a wonderful day !!!
The travel is only 2 hours from Manila and entrance to the vicinity costs Php 30.00.

the first time I came here was the wedding of my cousin to a reporter of ABS-CBN TV Patrol and that time, there is only one chapel. Dami na nadagdag sa Calaruega from that time.
Thanks for this. I wanna come back and do blog about the place.
What a heavenly place! It is sure worth the two-hour travel.
nice structure and landscape
Kakaiba yung design ng church. Ang ganda though, parang old na old talaga pero very well maintained.
Astig yung church. Ang peaceful tapos pwede na ring family place. Couldn't agree more you chose to stay in the place on your birthday.

A very nice place for a retreat. Church is place for worship, a place to commune with God, a place to feel the tranquility, serenity as evident by your pictures taken. This is because the said Church is far from the noise and chaos of a busy city. With such ideal location, there's peace indeed.
really love the churches in nasugbu... though i never been here, napuntahan ko naman ang transfiguration of Jesus... ganda ng view and conducive to praying... Yahweh bless.
