Building a New Kapilya




The old chapel before the earthquake of 2012.


Kapilya San Jose grew from a small-nipa hut structure to an octagonal-shaped chapel in 2003.  The local community made improvements year after year.  Because of constraints in budget, our community was able to come up with  local materials like wood poles for posts and thatched nipa and coconut fronds (sinibit) for roof.  From time to time, we relied on sponsors for the needs of the small chapel.



 However, time and the elements have taken their toll.  In February 2012, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake which hit Guihulngan also destroyed the walls, cracked the floors, and weakened the posts.

We had to reinforce the chapel with bamboo poles and replace the roof with temporary  materials.  However, in December 2014, Typhoons Queenie, Ruby and Senyang came in rapid succession and brought strong winds and rains.  It ruined our small chapel.

For this reason, the Kapilya officers, with the advice and guidance of our priest Fr Niňo C. Pabalate,  decided to reach for a daring but not impossible dream: it is our hearts desire that our barangay, in honor of St Joseph, will have a chapel which has a more enduring and permanent structure.

Soon to Rise:  Kapilya San Jose (Architect's Perspective)


We dare to share this dream with you because we believe that you share the nobility of its purpose – to have a place where  residents of Brgy Magsaysay  and other adjoining barangays can gather and worship.  Aside from the main chapel, there will be a priest’s room, office, public comfort rooms and a multi-purpose room.  The chapel area is 450 square meters.

Who knows sometime soon, our small community may  produce priests, nuns and religious leaders, even civic leaders who are nurtured in , as Pope Francis  called for, mercy and compassion.

 We are thus knocking  on your kind hearts to be our donors, sponsors or contributors.  All that we receive will be properly  acknowledge and accounted for.

For the time being,  Phase I will consist of a new altar and putting up of 14 posts.  Each post costs P15,000.00
               Sponsors names will be etched on the posts and acknowledged in  our fiesta souvenir program.
