Hello from Spain! Thank you for this blog. I have been watching some photos about the Mabitac Church because I am investigating about this concrete city. Do yo know if there is any paper archives in this Church or near? Thank you.

Hello Francisco. Thank you for visiting my Blog. I have no idea if there are any archives about the church. but usually the church keeps an archive. are you just interested in Mabitac Church? Vic
ReplyDeleteHi.. correction..

Thanks for the correction
ReplyDeleteHi from Spain too. Do you have any documents, any information about this church from 1931 to present days? My family was living in the ruins of a church at Paco for a year during WWII, and I think is this one, but I haven´t be able to find anything of this church from 1931, except one photo that it is assumed to be of 1946, but it can be read a copyrigth of 1899 on it.
