Apalit Church

Apalit Church, Roman Catholic church in Apalit, Philippines

San Pedro Apostol Church displays Neo-Renaissance features with two symmetrical towers and a plain segmental pediment across its main facade. The structure sits along the river and serves as a gathering place for regular worship services and community ceremonies.

Construction of the present building began in 1876 and reached completion in 1883, though the towers were not finished until 1896. The gap between the main structure and tower completion reflects the gradual development of the site across several decades.

The parish celebrates an annual river procession to honor Saint Peter the Apostle, drawing devotees who navigate the waters as an act of faith. This tradition reflects how the community has long integrated water and religious practice into its local identity.

The building sits directly along the river, making it easy to locate and access by walking the waterfront. Keep in mind that worship services and ceremonies may affect access to certain areas at specific times.

The building houses a fragment of Saint Peter's bones, a sacred relic found outside Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome in very few places. This religious treasure draws pilgrims seeking meaningful connections to early Christian history.
