The province of Camarines Norte which
ecclesiastically comprises also the Diocese of Daet is composed of twelve
municipalities: Basud, Capalonga, Daet, Jose Panganiban, Labo, Mercedes,
Paracale, San Lorenzo Ruiz, San Vicente, Santa Elena, Talisay and Vinzons. On
one weekend together with some office workers we visited the province. We were
able to visit ten of the towns and also had an overnight stay at the Calaguas
Island. We left Manila very early from Manila that before seven
in the morning we were already in Daet which is where we started our
exploration of the province. Many of the parishes dates back to the 1500s and the 1600s that is why several churches still have the old structure of thick walls usually made of coral stones. Many churches have beautiful altar retablos but they were already of recent built. I will be
featuring the parish churches of the towns in the order that we visited them.
