[3] Calape Church originally had a stone foundation, with nipa palm roofing and walls made from tabique pampango, a thin partition wall made of interwoven pieces of bamboo or hardwood slats plastered over with a coating of lime mixed with sand.

Its portico is made of a colonnade with white reliefs of interlacing arches, a base, and a defined capital.

The piers are extended to the pediment through pilasters of similar decoration that divide the facade into three vertical panels.

[6] The uppermost register contains a pointed arch pediment with crockets and a rose opening with ornate openwork.

At the ground level the entrance reflects the ornamentation of the front-facing portico through pilasters and three blind arches, the middle one containing the entrance doorway above which is the statue of the patron and the other two flanking it with windows similar to the one found in the upper register.
