The first Church was destroyed by a typhoon in 1588. The construction of the present Church was started shortly after 1668, when the town was moved from Lagolo to the present site. Rev. Francisco Gascueña, O.F.M., who built the belfry in 1800, preached the Gospel in China for six years, and on being exiled from that kingdom out of opposition to his religious teachings returned to Meycauayan. He served this parish for 31 years and died here on November 18, 1831. The Convent was built from 1731 to 1759. Both Convent and Church were seriously damaged by the typhoon of 1882. (English)
