The parish church, under the patronage of Saint John the Baptist, is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Ozamis.

[1] The town of Jimenez was originally established by the Augustinian Recollects in 1829 and with Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary as its patron saint.

The present church, built mostly from hewn coral stone, was erected in the 19th century on a site previously settled by the Subanons, a local tribe.

To the left of the church stands the rectangular, three-tiered bell tower topped with finials, a domed roof and a lantern.

It features a painting done in 1898 and portions made of tabique pampango, a local version of a dry wall using panels of interwoven slats or branches and covered with lime.
