San Antonio de Padua Parish Church - Negros Oriental Attractions

San Antonio de Padua Parish Church

Though Sibulan had already a resident priest in 1833, it only became a parish town in 1838. Father Mateo Saplad, a Cebuano secular priest, was the first resident priest. Within a span of three years after his arrival, he built a modest church and convent made of fine timber. The modest church became the parish of Saint Anthony de Padua.

 

St. Anthony of Padua, the Catholic patron saint of lost items, the poor and travelers.

 

For the ardent devotees of San Antonio de Padua in the Visayas and even in Mindanao, June 13 is a red-letter day.
