The Church of Padre Garcia
Last September 7, after doing a school project I decide to spend my time in the Church of the Our Lady of the Rosary. The church upon entering the plaza poses a rustic feeling and a peaceful atmosphere back then I usually pass this church when my ride goes to Tiaong Quezon. According to the marker next to the main door of the church Padre Garcia was the original town of Rosario. The place became the settlement of the natives from Lobo escaping pirate attacks. Later the church was burned during the Phil-American War and was abandoned and the place was called "lumang bayan" since then. The seat of government was then transferred some three kilometers away, to the present site of Rosario town.
The image of Saint Joseph
In 1928 the Oblates of Saint Joseph administered Lumang Bayan, In World War II the church again was burned and reconstructed by the OSJ .The name of the town was later change to "Padre Garcia" in honor of the Fr. Vicente Garcia, a native of Brgy. Maugat Padre Garcia.
