Pateros Church, also known as the San Roque Parish Church, is a Roman Catholic church under the order of the Augustinians located in the municipality of Pateros, Metro Manila, Philippines.
History[edit]
19th century[edit]
San Roque Parish was founded after the division of Pateros to Pasig by Fray Andres Vehil and Fr. Manuel Pelaes on July 7, 1815. In 1863, an earthquake damaged and destroyed the church. Renovation of the church was completed in 1893. During the Philippine Revolution, the church was destroyed for the second time during the Battle of Pateros on March 14, 1899.[3]
20th century[edit]
During World War II, families of the civilians who were arrested, were taken to the church, which was now a prison. In December 1944, the Japanese soldiers killed many civilians inside the church. After the war, the people of Pateros and the church rose again.[4]
Contemporary history[edit]
On August 21, 2003, the church was placed under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Pasig, due to its establishment. In 2015, under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Roy Rosales, San Roque Parish celebrated its 200th anniversary.[5]
Architecture[edit]
The parish was planned and created by Fray Santos Gomez Marañon and completed on July 1, 1815, to start the construction.
