History

edit

The parish was among the first four created after the establishment of the Diocese of San Pablo in 1967[1].

A modest "visita" church was built by its pioneer parishioners opposite that of Del Remedio Elementary school[2]..

Msgr. Nicomedes P. Rosal, along with initiative of the Barangay Captain and pioneering church leaders successfully negotiated for the donation of a one hectare plot of land which is to be the current location of the church in ADB Subdvision. A right-of-way road was constructed soon after[2].

A temporary structure was built where a priest would say mass. A small extension was built as a makeshift sacristy, however there was no rectory.

Through fundraising, improvements were made, but were uncoordinated and deviated from the previously drafted master plans.

In 1996, pledges and funds were enough so that a large part of the another planned church can come about, in which a large part of the church structure was completed in 1998.

In 1999, it was declared a titular church in honor of the Virgin Mary, Nuestra Señora De Los Remedios, officiated by Bishop Francisco C. San Diego. The feast date is celebrated every November 26[3].

In 2004, the belfry was completed thru fund raising. Bells were donated by a devotee family.

In 2006, an Adoration chapel and grottoes were built.

In 2007, a parish hall was built. In 2009, a portion of this parish hall was turned into a mortuary chapel.

In 2012, the sacristy and baptistry at the apse of the church was built. The old sacristy was turned into a side chapel containing the churches religious statues.
