Balagtas had its first parochial structures made of light materials long before 1645, the year when it was reported to have sustained heavy damage from an earthquake.

Between 1893 and 1898, the church and convent were repaired, the bell tower was erected under the supervision of Father Francisco Martin Giron.

The entire façade has been plastered with cement and was laid out with patterns mimicking the original stone wall.
