St. John the Baptist Parish Church

This is the parish church of the St. Joseph the Baptist Parish, of the newest parishes in the Apostolic Vicariate of Taytay.

Rev. Fr. Neil Bacones is currently embarking on the expansion as well as renovation of this church and your generous financial assistance would be most welcome.

At present, the current space can no longer accommodate the growing number of persons who come to church. Sadly, however, many of them are simple farmers and fishermen who do not have the material means for the needed expansion and renovation.
