History
The church began as a mission station established by Msgr. Rev. Fr. Jose Fuerte Advincula, D.D., prelate of the Archdiocese of Capiz, in 2012. Its first site was in Sto. Niño.
After the devastation wrought by Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) on November 8, 2013, it was rebuilt during the tenure of Reverend Fr. John Marion Hicalde Bordo based on a design by Architect Yermo Baes Dequiña, Jr. and funded by the people and United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The property that the church stands on, which is a kilometer away from the earlier location, was donated by Leopoldo and Rebeca Dalman Deslate.
Archbishop Advincula, together with Most Reverend Victor Barnuevo Bendico, vicar general of Capiz and Bishop Elect of Baguio, and clergy, led the dedication of the completed church on October 20, 2016.
It became a parish on January 14, 2017, with Fr. Bordo as first parish priest.
