spreads over a 4,000 square
meter mango orchard beside a
flowing creek.
True to the nature concept
proposed by the architect, Bobby
Manosa, the church stands under a
canopy of mango boughs, the altar
section concealed from street view by thick tropical palms and plants thus providing the
necessary privacy for prayer and meditation.
The nature concept is extensively expressed in the structure of the church itself, its furnishings
and its adornments. Serving as beams and pillars to hold and support the cables which suspend an
inverted funnel-shaped, canvas-covered anahaw roof are more than a half century old mango trees
with six concrete posts providing added strength.
It is considered biggest anahaw-covered roof in the Philippines. the intricately woven network of
40,000 anahaw leaves can be appreciated from the inside by simple looking up to the ceiling. Warm
yet soft illumination is provided by 176 capiz lanterns depicting doves in flight spiraling from the
fringes to the center of the ceiling.
