The first stone for the first provisional church was laid on November 18, 1868. The convent was finished ahead of the church, The work on larger church was commenced around 1879 by Fray Frederico Cortazar, which was finished in 1822. Fray Cortazar's convent was damaged after three years of occupation by American troops. The twin towers on the church was repaired about 1905 but were eventually demolished. The church itself and much of the convent died a slow death under the onslaught of modern tastes.
