Saint Pedro Calungsod (Latin: Petrus Calungsod, Spanish: Pedro Calúñgsod or archaically Pedro Calonsor, Italian: Pietro Calungsod; July 21, 1654 – April 2, 1672), also known as Peter Calungsod and Pedro Calonsor, was a Catholic Filipino migrant, sacristan and missionary catechist who, along with the Spanish Jesuit missionary Diego Luis de San Vitores, suffered religious persecution and martyrdom in Guam for their missionary work in 1672.
While in Guam, Pedro preached Christianity to the Chamorro people through catechesis, while baptizing infants, children and adults at the risk and expense of being persecuted and eventually murdered. Through Pedro and San Vitores' missionary efforts, many native Chamorros converted to Roman Catholicism.
Pedro was formally beatified on March 5, 2000, by Pope John Paul II. Pedro was officially canonized by Pope Benedict XVI at Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City on October 21, 2012.
