The National Shrine of La Virgen Divina Pastora/ Three Kings Parish Church/ Church of Gapan (Gapan, Nueva Ecija)

Saint Joseph the Husband Parish Church / Church of Rizal Nueva Ecija (Rizal, Nueva Ecija)

The Church is Under the Diocese of San Jose Nueva Ecija, Vicariate of Saint Joseph

About the Church: The first Church was originally located at the foot of a hill overlooking the Rizal Central School. The Church was under the administration of the Diocese of San Fernando. In 1936  very first priest was assigned to the Saint Joseph Church, Father Simeon Ginete. The Church was then transferred to its 2nd Location on a Camarin type house owned by Mrs Elvie Tan. After this, the church was transferred to its present location on the corner of Quezon and Aglipay streets which was donated by the Aleta Family.

My Visit to the Church: The Church was closed when we went there. Even the gate to the church was closed so there was no way to know if there were any doors open. I had previously taken a picture of this Church but never noted down where it was actually located. This time i made sure to write down.
