Saint Vincent Ferrer Church (Dupax del Sur)

[1] Dupax started as a mission by the Dominican Priests to convert the native group called Isinays into Christianity at around 1602.The current façade, which mimics the silhouette of the earlier Tuguegarao Cathedral and is reflected on the churches of Bayombong and Bambang in Nueva Vizcaya, dates back to 1776 while each level of the bell tower bears inscription of the years when which it must have been completed.[2][3] Its original titular patron is the Nuestra Señora del Socorro but was replaced by San Vicente Ferrer soon after the mission was returned to the Dominicans.The triangular pediment is divided into two horizontal sections with the lower half pierced with a deeply recessed oculus and the upper part featuring a relief of a cross.The church plaza is enclosed by a low perimeter wall and a replica of an earlier atrial cross.
