Beautiful and serene. The view from the main entrance was breathtaking. I recommend this place to be visited.
There was a boy we though was a panhandler inside the church so my mother gave him money but instead he put that money given to him in an envelope for the church.

The fruit of labor of the viracnons. It is a good church and it shows antiquity. A must see when you go to Catanduanes.

This church commands attention from a distance. The old architecture gives you the feeling of time travel from the past. With the view of the nearby river with the winding bridge will remind you that simple happiness residing in the province. It will wash your worries away.

Ever since I was a kid, it already stood as high and beautiful as it is today. Despite the hundreds of typhoons that hit this place, it still stands strong and ever more beautiful. Say a prayer at this church or just admire its beauty.

Bato Church is one of the rare churches in the Philippines (except perhaps in Bohol) where the materials used are corals and clay. These combination of materials has provided these churches to withstand big earthquakes and have lasted hyndreds of years. The location too is very beautiful as it sits right beside Virac River which is by itself very grand. Wish we had experienced attending mass there during our visit.
