historical marker installed in 2022 The parish dates back to the arrival of Spanish missionaries to Malolos in 1580, and the establishment of an
Augustinian monastery. The first church and convent were built in 1591 of modest means. The congregation was formally established as a parish until 1673, the same year the town of Malolos was incorporated. The original church complex was expanded in 1691, and entirely reconstructed from 1734–1744. In 1813, a fire destroyed both the church and convent, and reconstruction was started in 1819. The new church was consecrated by Francisco Alban, bishop of
Nueva Segovia on October 18, 1826. The earthquakes of 1863 and 1880 both damaged the church, and restorations were undertaken from 1859–1872 and in 1883. A
Catholic Mass was later offered with festivities for its inauguration ceremony on December 4, 1999. == Architecture ==
