The church and convent was the site of bloodshed during the Battle of Perez Dasmari ñas of the Philippine revolution against Spain.

On December 7, 2002, the Venerated and Miraculous Image of the Patroness of the City of Dasmariñas—the Lady of Immaculate Conception—was Episcopally Crowned by the Bishop Emeritus of Imus Most Rev.

; the next day, on the Occasion of The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the Parish Church was Dedicated to God by then Bishop of Imus Most Rev.

Hence, on October 21, 1866, Her Most Catholic Majesty Queen Isabella II signed the Royal Order creating the new parish of Perez-Dasmariñas.

The new parish of Perez-Dasmariñas was placed under the patronage of the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception with the Archbishop of Manila and the Recollect Prior Provincial as its main proponents.

Don Esperidion Arevalo of Santa Cruz, Manila, a famous sculptor, was commissioned by the Recollect Provincial to carve the image of La Purisima Concepcion (Immaculate Conception) in 1867.

Old photographs taken towards the end of the Spanish rule showed that the church had a very simple facade without a belfry.

[2] Later in 1880, San Francisco de Malabon (now General Trias) lent $500 (Mexican) to Perez-Dasmariñas for the same purpose.

They were required to train and pay good teachers and ensure that basic necessities for teaching purposes were provided.

He was born in Huesca, Spain, on April 5, 1838, and was assigned as missionary to various parts of the Philippines before he became the parish priest of Perez-Dasmariñas.

[1] Candido Puerta of Villanueva de la Torre, Guadalajara, Spain came to the town without parish assignment but just to learn the Tagalog language.

[1] During the Philippine Revolution, gobernadorcillo Don Placido Campos and his secretary Francisco Barzaga lead the uprising against the Spaniards which eventually freed their town in 1896.

[1] During that bloody battle, the Spaniards burned all structures in the town proper except the Catholic Church which was later used as a garrison.
