About the Church of Kananga:
Kananga was formerly one of the many barrios of the parish of Valencia, Ormoc City. Valencia was the biggest district in Ormoc, but it was already a thriving parish independent from the mother parish of Ormoc City.
In 1952, Kananga was created as an independent municipality under the aegis of then Congressman Domingo Veloso of Baybay. During the incumbency of the late Mayor Feliciano Larrazabal, a popular petition was sent to Bishop Lino Gonzaga to have Kananga created as an independent parish.
Due to scarcity of priest, Kananga was declared a mission territory with a visitor priest from Samar, Fr. Trifon Garduco, as a missionary pastor.
Ultimately, Kananga was formally declared a juridical parish in June 9, 1959 with father Manuel Colasito as its first parish priest.
At present, the parishioners are urged to continue the “Rosary Crusade for Peace”- the present apostolate of the parish –for the increase of devotion to the holy rosary in homes, poblacion and barrios year round.
The devotion to the holy family is desired upon every individual household members to nurture in their lives the spirit of love concretize in proper parental guidance and care, and in the same manner, to make children grow to become responsible youth.
They are to find example in the holy family at Nazareth, where joy, simplicity, love of God and neighbor are worth emulating.
