OSLOB CHURCH RECONSTRUCTION

Few months after the Oslob Church burned down last March 26, 2008, it finally saw RECONSTRUCTION.


Beholding this new sight of the Oslob Church is a tearjerker as looking at the almost completely burned down walls and bricks of the formerly proud, dignified and imposing La ImmConce Parish.


The belfry viewed from the sea wall near the cemetery.


Notice the steel cross on top of the dome of the belry, it has been fixed straight.


From it was like this....


One of the re-construction workers, working on a steel to be used for the roofing---the first phase of the "re-building" process.


The remains of the altar.






The north side of the Church viewed from the old SMA.

The belfry viewed from the left entrance.

Closer look

Left entrance viewed from Eternidad Street.

One of the lucky bells, as the campanario was spared from the fire.

The altar, the only part of the Church that was left almost unburned --- BELIEVED by many Oslobanons to have been shielded by the MIRACULOUS Patroness from destruction as she was seated above it and behind the glass. The antique icon endured an amazingly slight damage.
