ST.Claire of assisi

one of my favorite church in tigaon
where i attend mass every sunday
here is a brief history about my beloved town.

In the early years of 19th century, Camarines Sur was divided into four districts by the Spaniards. This division include the districts of Bikol,Rinconanda, Yraya and Mambulao. The mission of Tigaon in the part ofMount Isarog belonged to the Bikol district. The history of this town, according to written accounts, was considered to be confusing as there are conflicting records with regards to its establishment as a municipality.

In 1794, Tigaon gained her independence and 

was appointed a parish priest in the person of Fray Jose de Buensalida. Fray de Buensalida brought into existence the recognition of St. Claire of Assisi as the town's patroness, marking August 12 as her feastday.
