La Paz Church was initially established as a visita of the Our Lady of Candles Parish in Jaro.

Gonzales initiated the construction of a convent and a place of worship made of wood and bricks.

The parish was served by fourteen Augustinian priests before its administration was turned over to the secular clergy in 1910.

The facade is divided horizontally by cornices into panels with arched apertures and pilasters, topped by a pediment with carvings of a sailboat, flora, fauna, and the Chi-Rho symbol at its apex.

Two Ionic columns from 1970 vertically divide the facade, framing the main arched doorway, a heart-shaped low relief of a holy figure, and the niche of the patron saint.
