St. James the Great Parish
Location: Bolinao, Pangasinan
Country: Philippines

Bolinao, Pangasinan, was canonically erected in the year 1609 when


the Augustinian Friars took over this mission territory which was earlier
entrusted by the Spanish Colonial Government to the Dominican Friars
in the year 1594 and left the place in the year 1607 due to the vastness
of their mission territories and the scarcity of their missionary
members.
The Church tower of Bolinao measuring seventy-five (75) feet was then
the tallest in the whole Pangasinan if not in the entire Northern Luzon.
However, an earthquake in 1788 toppled about half of it. Then in 1819,
the Church Convent was also accidentally burned.
