Hi @beverlyjoe, just for additional input. Back in 1936, there was no transportation nowadays. Water buffalo was the only carriage to carry the stones.and this stones was carried all the way from moyog river. This stones is well known as papang.it is significant to the name of penampang. The stones were so thick I think more than 400 mm. This church building was build by the people of penampang.back then people penampang was united as united and committed to their faith. The church is the only place where penampang people get their education .years after years people get education and eventually the church self funded by the people.Remember this it is the unity that the church is still exist till today.
