The parish church has undergone many changes through the years. This is how it looks today... Beautiful and resplendent, it is.

          As a center of Philippines devotion to Joseph, the Husband of Mary and Patron of the Universal Church, it was proclaimed as a National Shrine to St. Joseph by the Bishops of the Philippines on July 12, 1999.

          But it is sad to not that the Shrine which hose the oldest publicly venerated image of St. Joseph in the Philippines and the only Philippine lifesize stone depiction of the Last Supper (the “Señor de Ceno”), does not have a baptistry and a suitable place where parishioners and pilgrims can gather for extraliturgical and social function. Moreover, the Administration Building (Rectory) has seen better years and is already an unredeemable state of diplidation.

          Thus, our appeal for help. Through your generousity, we will realize our dream of the National Shrine of St. Joseph, complete with a Baptistry, a Social Hall, and a new Rectory.
