Caleruega Church Nasugbu Batangas– Close to Nature, Close to God



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.

  9. 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.

  19. 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.
