Dauis Church


We visited this church just after crossing a bridge from Bohol to Panglao resort island where we spent Saturday.
Centuries ago, Muslim raiders drove the islanders into this church for protection. When their water ran out, a miraculous fresh water spring well appeared at the foot of the altar, which still exists today, with miraculous waters still healing many of the faithful.
We met the pastor, Fr. Skelton, an American priest of the Bohol diocese, who offers the traditional Latin Mass.
