History of jaro cathedral church

Along with the boom of the sugar industry of the Philippines especially centered in
Iloilo, several churches and schools are constructed in Jaro.[3] The original cathedral
was built in 1874 by the first Bishop of Jaro, Mariano Cuartero, O.P. It was destroyed
in January 1948 by the Lady Caycay earthquake and later repaired in 1956 by the
first Archbishop of Jaro, Jos Mara Cuenco.
The Marian image of Our Lady of the Candles also has the distinction of
being canonically crowned by the late Pope John Paul II during his visit to Iloilo City
on February 21, 1981, making it as the only Marian figure to be given such stature in
the Philippines.[4]
The journalist, national hero, and co-founder of the Propaganda Movement Graciano
Lpez Jaena was baptized in the Cathedral on December 20, 1856.
The National Historical Institute of the Philippines declared the Jaro Cathedral an
historical landmark in 1976.[5]
In January 2012, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines approved the
cathedral as the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Candles.[6]
The current parish rector is Msgr. Higinio Velarde Jr.
