The present Modern Romanesque church is the third to be built on the same site. It was designed by architect César Concio. It took six years to build because most of the money came from small donations—the suggestion from the pulpit was 10 Philippine centavos per week—that often ran out requiring construction to stop. The foundation stone was laid on 11 January 1953 and on 1 December 1958 the new church was consecrated. The church was dedicated on December 5, 1958, and has been open 24 hours ever since.
