In other municipalities to support the needs of the entire community to the current situation, establishments of structure must be given attention like spiritual facility, health centers, and schools. In the absence of these important facilities, these will result into lack of knowledge. Simple pain will get worst without proper intervention and will affect the faith and religious practices in the country. According to Msgr. Uriarte, R. (2019), "it is possible to build a new church because of the continuous growth of the community in Gumaca’’ (Monsignor of San Diego Cathedral Church, Diocese of Gumaca). Based on the information from Eco-profile from the Engineering Officer of the Municipality of Gumaca (2012), ninety-four percent (94%) of the population of entire localities are catholic, out 73,877 population 69, 445 are catholic. Moreover, the precise number of people in each village that will benefit this project is a great factor to consider. Hence, a new parish church that will serve and support the spiritual needs is necessary. The church is very challenging to plan, especially in a rural area where there is no flat terrain. With the consideration of needs of the people, this study focused on the construction of catholic parish church with good access to its location, and the accommodation to ensure that it will help solve the problem of the problem. In terms of the location, it was proposed to be located to Barangay Progreso Purok 5 in Gumaca, Province of Quezon serving the towns to Gumaca-Pitogo-Mulanay-San Narciso road,
