History
The church was established on January 6, 1957.
In 2015, Bishop Crispin Varquez of the Diocese of Borongan sent a letter to the Basilica of San Antonio de Padua in Italy, resulting to the turn-over of the first-class relic or massa corporis of the saint.

The facade is embellished with fluted pilasters with capitals of the Corinthians order and standing on plinths with cartouche, molding, dentil, volute, finials, and rose windows eight-lobed tracery. The arch entrance of the church is cut deep into the wall and thus recessed, and it is flanked by twin paired columns crowned with composite capital.
