INTRODUCTION:

                                    Inspired with the great potentials emanated from the values of oneness and unity among the heart of our Hinigaran people, we were able to see behind these potentials the various initiatives possible that will flourish.  With the information that continuously evolved amidst the changing time, we cannot deny the fact the competency and call for actions are called forth.   And in these precepts also we initiated to put a kindling fire to kick off a vision that will preserve the untold heritage of the locality.  In the hospice of St. Mary Madeleine Academy, the seedbed of the evangelization in the municipality, have taken the first step of conceptualizing a focus project that will later on integrates the culture, arts and heritage of the Hinigaranons.  Initially, with the passion of Mrs. Joanna G. Canincia, of putting up a museum-like heritage center to house the different clothing of the iconic patron saint, St. Mary Madeleine.
