About the Church:

The St. Francis of Assisi Church was completed in 1864, as engraved at the main entrance. Its construction started around 1854, when the Dumanjug Mission Post was elevated into a parish. The work was commissioned by the Spanish Bishop Romualdo Jimeno, O. P. and was undertaken by the pioneerring Filipino Secular Priest, Rev. Fr. Matias Cabrera and Doroteo Godinez, with the free labor support of the early Dumanjuganons. The basic materials used were sea corals, limestone, and balayong (native black wood) which were abundant in the area then. The church, considered to be one of the biggest in the whole province of Cebu, is one of the few old church structures in the whole Philippines to be designed, executed, supervised, and completed by the Filipinos themselves.
