An early church was burned, 25 July 1636, by the Duton who ransacked the towns bordering Lecasp Bay. This church built after 1724 by Fray Francisco Blanco, O.F.M. was buried by rocks and lava during the eruption of Mayon, 1 February 1814. The authorities of Cagsawa meeting at Ligao, 6 July 1814 decided to incorporate their town as part of Daraga. The first centenary of the destruction of the church was commemorated, 1 February 1914, with a huge pilgrimage to the ruins, where high mass was celebrated."
