[Church photo description]:
Parish Church of Santa Catalina de Alejandria (Tayum, Abra). The church was built in the 19th century by the secular clergy among the Christianized Tinguians. The convento, later turned into a house for nuns, and now a school, is across the church. Around the churchyard and continuing into the main streets are fourteen small shrines of the Via Crucis. Important examples of early Tinguian art, such as carved wooden baptismal font, are now in the bishop’s house in Bangued. The belltower is structurally unsafe due to earthquakes and the construction of a water reservoir inside the structure. The church is fairly well-maintained but must continue to be conserved to prevent future deterioration.

    My parents are from there. My grandfather was the chief of police in Tayum, my grandmother is from Lagangilang. Their home still stands there even if they have left the Philippines and immigrated here to the USA way back in the 1940s and 1950s. Mom was a student at Holy Ghost. Her maiden name is Tejero and dad' is Tuquero. Hope to visit there someday. Hello from LAS VEGAS. Mom lives in Honolulu.
