Erected in 1968, the parish comprimises the barangay of Malinao Ilaya, Malinao Ibaba, Rizal, Sta. Catalina I, Sta. Catalina II, Tinandog and Magsaysay. Fr. Romulo Obviar was appointed as first curate of the parish that was carved from the old parish of Our Lady of the Angels in Atimonan. The other priest who served Malinao as curate were Fr. Mariano, Francis Bingco and Fr. Justo Pereira. With the opening of new zigzag road that attracts settlers, the work of evangelization has expanded. Fr. Marasigan initiated income-generating projects like candle-making in the parish. |
