The St. Peter the Apostle Church, also known as the Parroquia de San Pedro Apostol, is a Roman Catholic church located in the municipality of Vinzons in Camarines Norte, Philippines. It is the oldest church in Camarines Norte built by the Franciscan friars in 1611.〔National Historical Institute. Historical Markers:Regions V-XII. Manila: National Historical Institute, 1994.〕 The current parish priest is Rev. Fr. Augusto Jesus B. Angeles III, appointed in 2013. ==History== A town named Tacboan was established by Franciscan priests in 1581. In 1611, Fr. Juan de Losar, OFM built a church named after Saint Peter. Fr. Losar was the first Parish Priest of the church. In 1624, the whole town of Tacboan was relocated and it was called Indan where a new church was built with the same Patron Saint, St. Peter the Apostle. In 1636, the missionaries established a church of Labo combining with Indan. In 1661, the Secular Clergy started administering the church. After World War II, Indan was renamed as Vinzons in honor of Wenceslao Q. Vinzons; a former governor of the Camarines Norte, youngest delegate to the Philippine Constitutional Convention of 1935, and a guerrilla leader martyred by the Japanese during World War II. In 1994, the left and right side of the church was repaired with the help of the town people. In 2011, the 400th foundation anniversary of Parish of St. Peter the Apostle including the Parish of St. John the Baptist in Daet and Parish of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria in Paracale was celebrated. In December 26, 2012, the church was destroyed by a fire. According to its parish priest, Fr. Francisco Regala Jr., the historical artifacts of church were not saved.〔 The Governor of Camarines Norte, Edgardo Tallado, said that the slow response of the Fire Marshall resulted to the destruction of the whole church except for the concrete walls. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Peter the Apostle Church (Vinzons)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
