The Chapel of San Pedro Calungsod

With SM Aura open, there are also a lot of unique places the premiere mall has to offer. And one of them is unlike the usual tenants. As SM is known for retail and department stores, they also have a place of worship and contemplation, the Chapel of San Pedro Calungsod.

Named after the newly-declared Filipino saint, the chapel is located at the seventh level of SM Aura as part of the Sky Park which Samsung Hall is also located. 

I have always wanted to celebrate mass in this chapel aside from being new, it would also be another spiritual oasis for me here in the busy city with so much to do and churches and chapels are reminders for the urban dwellers to at least stop for a while, pray and be calm.

What I love about the chapel is the simple design which is similar to the Chapel of the Eucharistic Lord in Megamall. Definitely chapel size capable of 200-300 people. The shape and design is like a downward tunnel with lights on all sides. The altar is simply designed with the Jesus, Mary and San Pedro. Calungsod as the patrons of the chapel. The circular altar wall is shaped like a host with a light LED lighting.

The chapel is open daily with schedules below:

Saturday

12 and 6 PM

Sunday

10 AM, 12, 5, 7 PM

Weekdays

To get to the chapel level you may take the escalators going up to the sky park and pass by the side of the Samsung Hall. You can also take the elevator at the southern side of the mall which can access the 7th floor.
