The new St. Joseph Parish Church in Gasan, named after the town's patron saint, that was originally "San Bernardo"
'Errecion del pueblo del San Bernardo de Marinduque'.
The town of what we have always known as 'Gasan' was established in 1609, and was dedicated to San Bernardo whose feast day falls on August 20.
St. Bernard of Clairvoux (1090-1153)
From "ESTADO (Islas Filipinas)Geografico, Topografico, Estadistico Religioso)" by Fr. Feliz de la Huerta, Imprenta de M. Sanchez Y.C., 1865, we find the following entry:
"San Bernardo de Marinduque

"Dicho religisioso construyo iglesia bajo la advocacion de San Bernardo, de quien tomo el nombre, y su administracion, como la anfriores fue cedida el ano de 1613 a la Sagrada Mitra." (p. 579).
