Church of Orani
Orani became an independent missionary center in 1714. The Church and the Convent of Orani, repaired in 1792 and 1838, were badly damaged by the earthquake of September 16, 1852. They were rebuilt and improved under the supervision of the Rev. Bartolome Alvarez del Manzano, O.P., in 1868, and of the Rev. Fermin Perez San Julian, O.P., in 1891, and were destroyed on March 16, 1938, by fire which razed about three fourths of Orani, including the town hall, the tercena -- former Bataan High School and later Orani Elementary School building. The Church was reconstructed in September, 1938.
