St. Michael the Archangel Parish Church, Irosin, Sorsogon

Situated in a top of the Hill of Poblacion, Irosin, Sorsogon is the St. Michael the Archangel Parish Church. Churchgoers of this church have to climb the 100 steps to workship in this breezy, scenic and spacious church. This church is can be reach in two ways. Aside from using the 100 steps of stairs, the other one is an asphalt road for vehicles, or you could walk in too. When we arrive at this church, the mass started, so we were contented to take some pictures far away to pay respect to the church mass. Below are some the pictures weve taken while we were in the church.

This Church has another smaller hill, located on the asphalt road way, called as the Little Baguio, where  the Grotto of Virgin Mary is located. From this part also you can have the clearer view of Mt. Bulusan Volcano and affording churchgoers and visitors a panoramic view of the town and the surrounding countryside beyond but sad to say when we got on that place it is getting darker.
