History
In 1910, Fr. Vicente Militar chose to stay in Lublub while he undertook the work of reviving Catholic faith in the colonial-era church in poblacion amidst the strong influence of Aglipayans after the Philippine Revolution. A temporary chapel was put up to serve not only as a house of worship but also as a school providing basic education to children.
Fr. Militar was succeeded by Fr. Ramon Pamplona and Fr. Domingo Tabifranca. The earlier church was destroyed by a typhoon in 1951, so a new edifice was erected. It became a parish on March 1, 1952, with Fr. Domingo Tabifranca as the first parish priest.
The parish community serves the following areas: Barasan, Bolilao, Calao, Guinsampanan (PD Monforth South), Lublub (PD Monforth North), Nanding Lopez, Paloc Bigque, and Tamboilan.
Architecture
A garden in the churchyard is where the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus stands.
