Bayambang's first coffee-table book has been published, as part of the 400th year celebration of the town’s parish church. Its title is "Parokya nen San Vicente Ferrer: Subol na Pananisia."
The book is authored by former Pangasinan State University-Bayambang college dean, Dr. Clarita D.G. Jimenez, together with several collaborators.
“Subol” details the history of the St. Vincent Ferrer Parish Church from the time it was founded in 1619.
Included in the book is the history of the adjoining school, the St. Vincent Catholic School, the town's first private school; the respective histories of the daughter parishes of Wawa, Carungay, and Sapang; and a list of priests and nuns hailing from the town, most notable of whom is Sr. Mary John Mananzan.
Among many other things, "Sr. Mary John was the National Chairperson of GABRIELA, a broad alliance of women’s organization, for 18 years. She served two terms as President of St. Scholastica’s College in Manila. She finished her second term as Prioress of the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of the Manila Priory."
Those who are interested in the book can order copies at the St. Vincent Ferrer Parish Office at Php1,500 each.
This project was 100% privately funded.
