Church bells have long held a central place in the life of a parish church. Historically their sound structured daily life calling the faithful to worship, hours of prayer, festivals, weddings, funerals, and warning of danger.

Our parish is blessed with 5 church bells, cast in 1885, 1893, 1998, 2015 and recently in 2025. Together they tell the story of a living church where each generation has added its own voice.

The Santa Barbara Race: A Dinagyang Team Building Odyssey

Amidst the euphoric pulse of the Dinagyang festivities, LIBCAP branch managers from across the Philippines converge in the historic town of Santa Barbara. The journey began not with a whistle, but with a quintessential local tradition; an early morning gathering for authentic Batchoy within the stonewalls of the historic church convent.

With the taste of savory broth still fresh, the challenge was set. Thirty six managers, divided into competitive teams were thrust into high stakes cultural, religious, and gastronomical scavenger hunt.

Their mission: navigate through Iloilo’s landmark sites to uncover the heart of Ilonggo heritage. Teams must reach their destinations using the limited resources provided by the company testing their ingenuity. Team building sa Dinagyang!
