Sept. 10 | Breakfast at Sts Philip and James the Apostle
After having spent the night at the Shrine of St Joseph in San Jose, pilgrims walked to Lagonoy for breakfast at the historic Church of Saints Philip and James the Apostles.
The church played an important place in Bicol history.
The missionaries founded the church on August 1, 1734 and became a parish in 1764. An early stone church was completed in 1768. However, it was destroyed by river flood and only the ruins of the bell tower remains today. Another church was erected in San Isidro Sur in 1885, and it was abandoned yet again. The present-day stone church was built in Santa Maria in 1874. Read more here.
