The first chapel built here by Augustinian missionaries were in the town square which the Cross of Captain Salcedo and Padre Albarado was mounted. It is made of straw, thatch, bamboo, matting and living room. Aborted once it stood the Dominican church who succeeded in parishes and administered since 1690 to 1694. Made of Guadalupe stones and Binangonan limestones, and bigger than before, a quake occurred on June 13, 1863 which damaged the church. It was also struck by lightning on August 12, 1870. Father Ulpiano Herrero started the construction of the tower in 1892. It was withdrawn in the site of the former church collapsed. A temporary church in the town plaza was built but later on repose with the strong storm on September 21, 1905. The construction of the church continued by the priest in charge but galvanized irons were used to extend the sturdy tower. The church remained until the time of Father Calixto Guevarra. On February 5, 1968, the church was burnt, except belfry of stone. Efforts and leadership of Mayor Jesus M. Garcia has rebuilt the Catholic Church but the interior was altered. It was inaugurated on March 11, 1970.
