St. James the Greater Parish

The Dapitan parish was established in 1631 by Jesuit Fr. Pedro Gutierres. The St. James Parish Church was built in 1871 in honor of the patron saint of Dapitan, St. James the Great. The old Spanish masonry and architecture are still evident to this day even if a century has passed since its construction.

Mindanao Map, amazing work of Rizal

Beautiful place to visit right at the heart of the city.

Located right across the city plaza.

One of the few Spanish churches remaining in Mindanao, with striking embellishments created by Philippines national hero Jose Rizal during his 1902-3 exile in Dapitan

Out 1st stop for Visita Iglecia 2024 with my family.

Pray and be silenced by His presence.

We attended the 8am Sunday mass here. The place is reminiscent of old times and based from what the priest said there are still ongoing renovation projects.
