History

19th century

San Roque Parish was founded after the division of Pateros to Pasig by Fray Andres Vehil and Fr. Manuel Pelaes on July 7, 1815. In 1863, an earthquake damaged and destroyed the church. Renovation of the church was completed in 1893. During the Philippine Revolution, the church was destroyed for the second time during the Battle of Pateros on March 14, 1899.[3]

20th century

During World War II, families of the civilians who were arrested, were taken to the church, which was now a prison. In December 1944, the Japanese soldiers killed many civilians inside the church. After the war, the people of Pateros and the church rose again.[4]

Contemporary history

On August 21, 2003, the church was placed under the jurisdiction of the

Diocese of Pasig, due to its establishment. In 2015, under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Roy Rosales, San Roque Parish celebrated its 200th anniversary.[5]

Architecture

The parish was planned and created by Fray Santos Gomez Marañon and completed on July 1, 1815, to start the construction.
