Church in the sky (Christ the King Parish)

To take advantage of April 9's Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor) holiday, we went on with our Rizal Tour.  Our first stop is Christ the King Parish, also known as Church in the Sky.  Located at Dela Cuesta Hills, Barangay Muzon, Taytay, Rizal.

Christ the King Parish

Christ the King Parish is the first parish created under the Diocese of Antipolo.  The feast is celebrated every 3rd Sunday of November.  The current Parish Priest is Rev. Fr. Dave Vincent F. Onilongo, which started last September 2009.

Unfortunately, it was Monday when we visited the church.  The office and the church itself is closed.  We didn't get to see the interior.  We were lucky though that it is nested on top of a hill.  We get to see the whole town of Taytay and Angono up to Laguna Lake.
