The church was magnificent, i mean come on look at the structure, the coral stone bell Tower that was detached from its main building was used by the Katipuneros and Filipino Guerillas during the war with the Spaniards and Japanese Era.
The Church looks Gothic, Baroque and Oriental Design, it was built of baked Bricks, coral rocks and lumber.

Short story on how pagudpud got it's name:

Local: May Dalwang mag amang Foreigner ang pumunta sa dulo ng luzon, sobrang gutom na yung anak kaya nag hanap sila ng makakainan nakakita sila ng kainan at habang nakain sila may dalawa namang mag kaibigan ang dumayo sa lugar na ito at hindi nila alam ang pangalan ng lugar tinanong nya sa kasama nya "asan na ba tayo?" tas narinig nila ung dalawang mag ama na kumakain at sabi nung anak sa tatay nya "PA GOOD FOOD" at sabi nung dalawang mag kaibigan "AH NASA PAGUDFUD TAYO"... it still makes me smile every time i tell this story. Thank you to the local driver who told the story to us :)
