Cultural History
The old wooden image of San Vicente Ferrer at Vito Church is said to have miraculous healing powers. This is the reason why every Friday, especially the first Friday of the month, devotees flock to Vito Church to pray for healing or as part of their panaad (religious vow). The statue is believed to have a miraculous healing intercession once it physically touches the head of a devotee and other parts of the body in a religious tradition practice called “palapak.” Candles are offered after the ritual. The church beams the opulence of its architectural grandeur which was then initially administered by the Recollect Friars in the mid 1850s. It is now called as the Shrine of the “wooden icon” of the St. Vincent Ferrer which sits in an enviable position in this church. The annual feast of the church is celebrated every 1st to 2nd of May participated in by the whole fishing community.
