St. Anthony of Padua Parish
A community of faith rooted in devotion, service, and the enduring love of God — faithfully serving the people of Aloneros since 1956.
A Parish Built on Faith & Community
The history of St. Anthony of Padua Parish traces back to its establishment in 1956, during a time when the Catholic population in Aloneros and surrounding areas was steadily growing.
Due to the increasing number of faithful and the need for a more accessible place of worship, the parish was formally created to serve the spiritual needs of the community — and has been a beacon of faith ever since.
Today it stands as a vibrant, welcoming home for generations of families who have grown in faith within these walls.
Decades of Faith & Growth
From humble beginnings to a thriving parish community, our journey is a testament to the enduring power of faith.

Parish Fiesta Celebration
The parish fiesta of St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Barangay Aloneros, Guinayangan, Quezon is celebrated every June 13 in honor of its patron saint. As a coastal community along the Ragay Gulf, the celebration seamlessly blends deep Catholic devotion with vibrant local traditions, typically featuring a nine-day novena, a Solemn Concelebrated Mass led by the parish priest, and the traditional sharing of “St. Anthony’s Bread.” The festivities often extend to the water with a colorful Caracol (fluvial boat procession) to pray for a bountiful fishing harvest, serving as a joyous spiritual prelude to Guinayangan’s town-wide Gayang Festival held later in the month.
