To celebrate the first year since Pedro Calungsod became a saint, the Archdiocese of Cebu plans to bring his image to different parishes in Cebu and in Naval, Leyte starting tomorrow.
After a 10 a.m. mass at the St. Pedro Calungsod Parish in the South Road Properties today, the image of the young Cebuano saint will start its “Duaw Lungsod 2013” leg at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, then would proceed to the Sto. Tomas Villanueva Parish in Danao City tomorrow.
The mass at the chapel will be celebrated by Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma and would serve as formal kick-off for the Duaw Lungsod.
The Duaw Lungsod starts today until Nov. 30, said Margarita Matheu, a member of the Archdiocese’s Secretariat.
From Danao City, the Cebuano saint’s image will be brought to the parishes in the towns of Daanbantayan, San Remegio, Balamban, Barili, Ginatilan, Samboan, Boljoon, Dalaguete, and Argao.
Cities
The image of St. Pedro Calungsod will also be visiting the cities of Carcar, Lapu-Lapu and Cebu City, particularly the Sto. Rosario and San Nicolas parishes.
The image will also travel to its namesake parish in Barangay Cantabaco in Toledo City on Nov. 2.
While on Nov. 16 to 18, the image will be brought to the parishes belonging to the Diocese of Naval in Leyte.
On Nov. 30, the image will be brought to the Templete at the SRP for a pontifical mass.
On Oct. 21 last year, then Pope Benedict XVI formally canonized St. Pedro Calungsod along with six new saints at the Vatican City.
Postponement
While the Archdiocese of Cebu postponed the 9th Visayas Pastoral Assembly in Consolacion, Cebu today due to the effects of the earthquake that hit Cebu and Bohol last week.
Matheu told Sun.Star Cebu yesterday that due to earthquake and the series of aftershocks that had rocked Cebu and Bohol, Palma decided to postponed the event with respect to the Diocese of Talibon and Tagbilaran in Bohol.
Both dioceses were severely hit by the earthquake, Matheu said.
Attending bishops and clerics from the dioceses of Tagbilaran, Talibon, Dumaguete and Maasin were supposed to join Palma in celebrating the first feast anniversary of St. Pedro Calungsod.
This year’s assembly was supposed to tackle the pastoral plans set by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the PhilipP) for next year.

(c. 1654 – 2 April 1672) was a young Roman Catholic Filipino migrant, sacristan and missionary catechist, who along with Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores, suffered religious persecution and martyrdom on Guam for their missionary work in 1672. Through Calungsod and San Vitores' missionary efforts, many native Chamorros converted to Roman Catholicism.
