KONTING KAALAMAN mula sa I Love Cateel. DID YOU KNOW that St James the Apostle Parish Church was built in 1900 but was severely destroyed by a typhoon in 1912. It was then rebuilt in 1918 and remodelled in 1953. In 2012, the church was again hit by Super Typhoon Pablo but the damages were not as severe like the one in 2012.

Inside the church are a number of century-old tree-trunk pillars from the original church. These pillars don't only serve as strong support to the foundation of the structure but also witnesses to what our Parish, our town has become — as a community and parishioners.

Originally built in 1900, St. James the Apostle Parish Church is now 125 years old. ❤️

Whenever you enter the Cateel Church, relish a moment reliving a history and heritage of Cateeleños' faith, resilience and hope.
