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.
