[3] The first church was constructed of bamboo, nipa and other light materials, by volunteers under the patronage of Peter of Alcantara.

[2] In 1684, the government, through Governor General Gabriel Curuscalegui, approved the collection of a tribute for five years for the sole purpose of constructing a stone church.

[2] Damaged by the earthquake of 1937, it was repaired again by Father Federico Diaz Pines with the help of the Confederation of United Catholics (Kapisanang Unidad Catolica).

A major repair was done from 1980 to 1984, when a story of the bell tower was rebuilt and the ceiling was renovated under the Parish Council of the Laity.

[8] The main retablo is painted in white and has a pantheon of 14 saints housed in an elaborately carved niche with the Archangel Michael towering above.

Father Ronald Reagan constructed an altar marble consecrated by Archbishop Alejandro Olalia in 1959 where the image of the Nuestra Señora de los Dolores was enshrined.

[11] It is a replica of Nuestra Señora de las Antiguas, which was found by fishermen on September 15, 1788, after a storm.

It was found floating in Laguna de Bay on the bank of the Matamig River and its presence began the devotion of Our Lady by the church.
