Saint Bonaventure Parish Church, commonly known as Mauban Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Mauban, Quezon, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Lucena. First built in 1647, the church was later demolished and rebuilt in 1773. It was damaged by an 1880 earthquake that hit the town.[1] The present structure was completed in 1891.[2]
