The Chapel was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sy, Sr. to the Archdiocese of Cebu, and is dedicated to San Pedro Calungsod, the first Visayan saint, who is considered a role model for the youth. Martyred in Guam for his missionary work in 1672, he was beatified by Blessed Pope John Paul II on March 5, 2000. San Pedro Calungsod was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City on Oct. 21.

Designed by US-based Architect Carlos Arnaiz, the chapel sits on an elevated 5,001 sqm lot within the SM Seaside Complex. It can accommodate up to 803 people.

The design for the chapel is meant as a homage to Cebu’s dynamic spirit.
