History
Canamocan was the old name of Inopacan. Its church was a visita of Hindang, and historical records showed it existed as early as 1843. Inopacan seceded from Hindang and became an independent town through a decree issued by the Governor General in 1852. It was formally inaugurated in 1853.
The church became a parish through a Royal Order issued on October 22, 1890 and a declaration by the Bishopric of Cebu on July 1, 1891.
Architecture
The church’s facade features arch and rectilinear apertures (some of which contain holy images) and a major arch that begins from the entrance and extends beyond the rooftop, serving as its pediment. A ledge and the stained glass window of the patron are installed above the entryway. The tower is built in the epistle side.
