The parish church, dedicated to Saint Andrew the Apostle, is under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Fernando.

Candaba became the missionary center of the Augustinian Friars in preaching the Catholic faith to the rancherias of Arayat and Santa Ana with the permission Bishop Domingo de Salazar of Manila.

The convent also became the refuge of philosophy students from the San Agustin Monastery in Manila during the British Occupation of 1762.

Records do not tell of any significant damage to the stone church, leading to the conclusion that much of the structure has survived up until present times.

Devoid of other detailed ornamentation, only the column capitals, finial caps, cornices and a saint's niche located at the center of the protruding pediment break the simplicity of the façade's layout.
