Balaoan Church also known as the San Nicolas de Tolentino Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Balaoan, La Union, Philippines under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Fernando de La Union. Formerly called as ''Purao'', the church is placed under the advocacy San Nicolas de Tolentino. == Church history == Balaoan is formerly known as Purao. It was organized as a town from different rancherias in 1586.〔 On June 29, 1587, Father Juan Bautista de Montoya was appointed as prior of Purao with the Augustinians accepting the convent to their order. Other references claim Father Juan Bautista de Sandoval as the first priest before Montoya while some other sources say Father Diego de Rojas. In 1597, the convent of Purao was allowed to vote in provincial meetings on the Augustinians. In 1603, Purao was annexed to Taguidin. People went back to the rancherias and population decreased. Purao was made a ''visita'' in 1734. It was annexed to Namacpacan in 1739 and the name of the town of Purao was changed to what is known today as Balaoan. The church was constructed around the 1820s. It was half-complete in 1829 with its sacristy and main chapel done. Father Juan Antonio Fernandez continued the construction by extending the church from the presbytery to the main entrance from his appointment to Balaoan in 1769 until his death in 1829. Father Valentin Noval continued the work on the church when he was appointed in 1839. When Father Noval died in 1864, the church was finally finished. In 1877, a convent and cemetery was built under the supervision of Father Casimiro Melgosa. The church was slightly damaged by an earthquake in 1880. Father Isidro Saez repaired the church in 1891. Although the church underwent major renovations, it has retained its original foundation and designs.
