ÅNTES YAN PÅ'GO

SANTA TERESITA CHURCH
MANGILAO


ÅNTES
1950s


PÅ'GO

In the 1980s, the small post-war church built by Father Theophane was too small for the growing Mangilao population.  The orientation of the church was changed with the main entrance shifted to the side, and the original facade, pictured above, converted into a side window and the fancy Spanish-style bell and fronting moved to the new entrance.  In 2007, a brand new church was built and this structure became a social hall.  But this side of the hall is what remains of the original church of the 1950s.
