History
The land on which the church stands was previously owned by Maximino Soriano and sold to Basilio Magno. Magno then donated the property to Fr. Johannes Glanemann, SVD, who planned to build Blessed Arnold Janssen Church.
On November 22, 1987, then Archbishop Pedro R. Dean changed the titular to the Blessed Sacrament. On August 2, 2003, it was raised into a quasi parish. On August 1, 2004, it was canonically erected into a parish and an archdiocesan shrine.
Architecture
The portico occupies the whole width of the church. It is decorated with a series of connected gablets and supported with columns. Above the portico in the gospel side, a three-level belfry is erected that is pierced with a pair of arch openings in each side. The pediment is plain and bears the image of the Holy Eucharist.
