General Note
  • General note - Canonically erected in 1590, the parish of Baao was founded by Fray Pedro Bautista Blazquez y Blazquez Villacastin, later canonized as St. Peter Baptist. Baao was then a mere barrio of Bula. The first church of bamboo and nipa was replaced of wood in 1684. In the following years a stone church and convent were constructed, initially with cogon grass thatching until 1849 when a wooden ceiling was placed. These suffered the onslaughts of earthquakes and typhoons which frequented the Bicol region, and subsequent repairs were undertaken by Fr. M. Badiola, a secular priest. Fr. Florencio Gonzales is credited for giving the church the much needed facelifting which included the pavement of the patio and the church, the setting of a new facade and the beautification of the main altar and presbytery.
