History
The mission in Guihulngan was established in the 19th century by the Augustinian Recollects. After a devastating Moro raid in 1860 when Spanish-era edifices were destroyed and church bells stolen, it was restarted by the missionaries. However, a fire broke out in 1874 that destroyed the church and rectory.
Fr. Angel Martinez, OAR, served between 1892 and 1894, and he drew a plan for church-building but it was disrupted by the Philippine Revolution.
Architecture
An interesting detail about the church is its double portico, the first is pierced with an arch and flanked by gardens and the other spans the width of the facade. A bell tower, on which the image of the patroness carrying the Holy Child and holding on to a staff in a field of blue sky and clouds, is in the epistle side. The pediment has an oculus and topped with a cross.
Celebration
The feast of Our Lady of the Good Event is November 26.
