[1] The visita was elevated to a parish in 1595 under Father Miguel de Talavera alongside the construction of its first church made of wood, dedicated to Saint Louis of Toulouse.

[2] On April 4, 1945, the day American soldiers liberated Lucban during World War II, the church was partially damaged by a bomb.

Saint Louis of Toulouse was born in Brignoles, Provence (or in Italy, at Nocera, where he spent a part of his early life), the second son of King Charles II of Naples and Mary of Hungary.

When Charles was taken prisoner in Italy, during the war with King Peter III of Aragon that followed the Sicilian Vespers, he obtained his own freedom by giving over his three sons as hostages.

[10] On February 5, 1297, Louis was also consecrated Bishop of Toulouse by Boniface VIII,[11] where his uncle Alphonse had until recently been count, but had died in 1271 leaving no heir.

In this ambivalently dynastic and ecclesiastical position, in a territory between Provence and Aquitaine that was essential to Angevin interests, despite the princely standing that had won him this important appointment at the age of about 22, Louis rapidly gained a reputation for serving the poor, feeding the hungry, and ignoring his own needs.

[citation needed] Locally known as Campo Santo, the cemetery was built in 1848 during the time of Fray Manuel Sancho, OFM and Capt.

In 1882, in order to control the spread of cholera and reduce the number of deaths, Don Victor Eleazar oversaw the building of a small chapel (capilla) within the cemetery complex in such a way that will prevent the people from passing by the parish church to get the priest's final blessing.

Kalbaryo is a local commemoration of Saint Helena and Bishop Macarius' discovery of Christ's real cross that is held every May 3.
