Sts. Peter and Paul Parish – Paranas, Samar

Paranas is a third-class municipality in the province of Samar. Its a beautiful coastal town and it is the hometown of my mother. Before we seldom visit this town because of the bad road going to Paranas. It would take us 3 to 4 hours I think just to reach the town. With my frequent visit to the municipality to do some favors I was impressed to see the improvement of the road network going to that town.

Like every Local Government Units in the Philippines each one has its own parish and patron saint. The church in Paranas is a well-preserved, century-old church made out of stone whose patron saints are Sts. Peter and Paul. The church is located on the coastal part of the municipality and considered as the center of religious works in the town. Here are my shots of the church.

Traveling is a great opportunity and its one of the best way of learning. You’ll get the glimpse of the history of a specific place or learn about the people living there. And if I were you grab it and be ready for an adventure.
