via The Bohol Chronicle, 8 September 2021: A restored heritage church in Bohol is returned to the local authorities from the National Musuem of the Philippines.
The Our Lady of Light Parish Church in Loon was reopened on Tuesday with a Holy Mass celebrated inside the restored heritage structure for the first time after it was reduced to rubble by a 7.2-magnitude quake in 2013.
The over century-old church was turned over by the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) to the Diocese of Tagbilaran led by Bishop Abet Uy during the eve of the feast of Loon’s patron, Our Lady of Light.
Uy, in a speech, expressed his gratitude to the National Heritage Council and NMP, which has been overseeing the restoration and reconstruction of heritage churches and other structures in Bohol that were toppled by the earthquake.
