St. John the Baptist Church (Goa, Camarines Sur)

St. John the Baptist Church is a 19th-century Roman Catholic located in Goa, Camarines Sur, Philippines.

The original settlement was located in the floodplains of Cagaycay River. Due to incessant river flood and due to the need of the people for wider plains to cultivate crops, the pueblo was moved to the present location. In 1777, the church was elevated into a parish and the settlement into a town during the incumbency of Fr. Juan Abalay.

In 1863, the construction of the Roman Gothic stone church began. The edifice was made of wood and stone after it was completed in 1887.
