St. Vincent Ferrer Parish Church

The St. Vincent Ferrer Parish Church in Bayambang, Pangasinan has stood for more than 400 years, having been established by Dominican missionaries in 1619. It also houses the saint’s holy relic, enshrined and protected at the foot of his statue at the main retablo. The church is also known for its accompanying prayer park wherein pilgrims and visitors can see the colossal bamboo structure in the image of St. Vincent Ferrer himself. Aside from being a Guinness World Record holder for being the tallest bamboo structure ever made, it is a figure of the townspeople’s utmost love and loyalty to both their patron saint and hometown.
