History
St. Peter the Apostle Church was established in 1744. A colonial-era church stands today as ruins and according to oral tradition, it caught fire caused by a pet monkey of a priest that ignited its highly flammable cogon roof. It was later destroyed by earthquake and had been abandoned since the World War II.
A grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes was erected in 1939 and blest a year later by Mill Hill Fathers. In 1954, a belfry was built by Fr. Cornelius de Wit. By 1972, it was dedicated as a diocesan center for farm workers and edifices were constructed. In 1998, it underwent renovation through a fund raising drive initiated by Fr. Glicerio Geremia.
The present-day St. Peter the Apostle Church is located near the ruins.
