History

Ibaan was founded in 1832 by Fr. Manuel Grijalbo and was placed under the patronage of Saint James the Apostle. The construction of the church was started by Fr. Manuel Gonzalez, O.S.A. in 1854 and was completed by Fr. Bruno Laredo in 1869.[1] The church was damaged by the earthquake of May 29, 1880, and Fr. Francisco Alvarez repaired the damage from 1891 to 1896.[2]

In 2017, in line with the Church's bicentennial, the Church underwent a major restoration. Its plaster that cover the adobe was removed.

gollark: Just solve for a.
gollark: v = end velocity, u = start velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.
gollark: My physics data/formulæ sheet says v² = u² + 2as.
gollark: I think there's an equation for that.
