While most malls around the country host Sunday masses in some obscure hallway filled with plastic chairs with a makeshift altar, some malls have built niches or transformed unused spaces into places of worship.
And Ilonggos should be proud that one of the newest malls in Iloilo City has actually a chapel located in a prime spot and one that boasts both beauty and serenity.
The St. Joseph Chapel at Festive Walk Iloilo is located in one of its al fresco areas known as The Deck located at the 3rd level.
While this open air area also has a mini plaza and dog park (and soon - cafes and restaurants) it is the chapel that highlights this al fresco part of the mall.
Eucharistic mass services are held every Sunday at 11am while first Friday masses at 5pm.
It is open to the public everyday for personal moments of silence and solitude.
The Deck and everything in it is open from 10am to 10pm with the entrance located between Barking Cafe and Kidzoona at the 3rd level of Festive Walk Iloilo.
