Its present rector and moderator of the team of pastors is Midyphil Bermejo Billones, who was appointed in 2019 concurrent to his post as Auxiliary Bishop of Cebu.
The Jesuits established Mandaue in 1638 as a mission after they had acquired lands in the area for the Colegio de San Ildefonso.
Augustinian writers Felipe Bravo and Manuel Buzeta described the structure as mediana fabrica or mixed fabric.
With the approval of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, Cardinal Ricardo J. Vidal, then Archbishop of Cebu, declared the parish as a national shrine on August 6, 2001.
