It was first built in 1881, the design was heavily influenced by Romanesque and Renaissance architecture. During World War II, it was extensively damaged and was renovated in 1948 through the efforts of Monsignor Mariño and has been restored to its former glory. Today, it continuously serves the religious needs of Tanaueños by uplifting their spiritual individuality. It is also a pilgrimage site where the faithful can come and enrich their spiritual relation to God. During Lenten Season, the church is frequented by people from various parts of the country who were joining the Visita Iglesia.
