History
Devotion to Nuestra Señora de Katipanan goes back to the Spanish period. As the early settlements in Camarines began to be Christianized in the 16th century, the people in Nabua believed in the miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin of the title Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (Nuestra Señora de la Limpia Concepcion).
Their devotion gained more potency in 1711 upon the destruction left behind by a strong earthquake. Tremors continued from aftershocks of the devastating disaster, and the townsfolk gathered to ask for the Lady’s intercession. In their prayers, they initiated three vows: to carry on the memory of the miracles of the Blessed Virgin, to celebrate the feast day of the patroness, and to perform act of virtue such as alms-giving as thanksgiving.
The earth stopped from trembling and the devotees made true of their promise. This Marian devotion spread that the image of the patroness was episcopally crowned on July 28, 1963.
The church was raised into a parish on August 28, 2010.
Architecture
The facade of the church consists of a portico-cum-belfry by the entrance, and its wall is pierced with arches and round windows. The tower rises to three levels and is topped with a cross.
