"St Anne’s Friary on Jail road, a house of prayer of the Franciscan Capuchin Friars, has been a landmark in Mangaluru city for the past 85 years. Over the years it has touched the lives of people from different walks of life.The old chapel at the friary which had to be replaced with new chapel now, will become a place of tranquility for thousands of devotees.

The place where the friary stands presently was gifted to the friars by George Lobo, a retired jailor in memory of his deceased wife, Annie Lobo in 1936. Hence the friary was named after St Anne. Earlier the Friary used only as a residence and center for Franciscan gatherings is a giant institution now."

ST. JOHN the Baptist Church, which was built by Franciscan missionaries during the Spanish colonial period, in Camalig, Albay, has been declared a historical landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. MICHAEL B. JAUCIAN
"Imelda Moraleda has bound her life and faith to the massive stone church built by Franciscan missionaries during the Spanish colonial period in the 1800s in Camalig town in Albay province.

“The church is indeed a very old church … that provided us refuge during the war,” says Moraleda, 84, who goes regularly to the St. John the Baptist Church, which was recently declared a historical landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP).

Describing the place of worship as “God-given,” she recalls that during World War II in 1942-1945, it sheltered town residents during the Japanese occupation and when the Americans came to liberate the country.

"This stately, brick building constructed in 1891 was the first convent, housing the sisters and “some 15 old folks, 35 orphans and a hospital wing that cared for an average of 35 patients.”The public knows it as Hurrle Hall, but it wasn’t called that until July 12, 1978, when it was renamed after Sister Teresa Hurrle, who came to the convent as a young girl in the summer of 1894 and became a nurse."
