History
Architect Servillano and Josephine Mapeso donated the one-hectare property, which was valued at one million pesos, to the Archdiocese of Cebu through a deed of donation entered between the Mapeso family and Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal on November 17, 2003.
A chapel made of nipa was erected in that same year to serve the parishioners of Cantabaco, who until then had to travel to Lutopan Church to attend religious services.
It was placed under the advocation of St. Pedro Calungsod who was beatified on March 5, 2000 and whose canonization was in the process in those times, becoming the first church dedicated to the devotion of the saint.
Construction of the concrete church, which was designed by Architect Servillano Mapeso, started in June 2005. It was canonically erected as a parish on March 5, 2006.
