of San Ildefonso. It was founded on January 9, 1724 by Alfonso Fajardo dela
Tenza. The Nuestra Señora del Pilar (Our Lady of the Pillar) is the patroness of the
church. The confraternity named after the patroness was founded canonically on
1743. During the liberation of Manila in 1945, the church was heavily damaged.

On 29 August 1586, Governor-General Santiago de Vera founded the District
of Quiapo as a suburb of Spanish Manila. The Franciscan Missionaries built the
first church on the site, using bamboo for the frame and nipa palm as thatching.
Saint Pedro Bautista, a Franciscan missionary and martyr, was one of the founders
of the Quiapo Church and several other churches in what is now Metro
Manila and Laguna. The original church burned down in 1639 and was replaced by
a stronger edifice, which was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1863.
Under the supervision of Rev. Eusebio de León and Rev. Manuel Roxas, the
third church was completed in 1899. Roxas had raised the unprecedented amount
of ₱40,000.00 from donations and lay contributions. On 30 October 1928, the
church again caught fire and was almost completely destroyed. Doña Encarnación
Nakpíl de Orense, then the head of the Parish Committee, raised funds for the
reconstruction. Filipino National Artist, architect Juan Nakpil (the son of
composer Julio Nakpil) added the dome and a second belfry to the edifice.

On 19 May 1571, a Saturday, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi took possesion of
Manila in honor of the King of Spain, Felipe II. On this occasion, one of his
soldiers roamed and reached as far as the seashore in what is now the site of Ermita
Church. There he witnessed the natives’ pagan worship to a beautiful statue of the
Blessed Virgin Mary placed on top of a trunk surrounded by pandan leaves.

It was believed that the image must have been brought to the Philippines in
1521 by Magellan’s own ships and was later sent by Cebu chieftains as a gift to
one of the many rajahs in Manila. In a Royal Decree dated 9 August 1578, the
King of Spain declared Nuestra Señora de Guia as the “Sworn Patroness” of
Manila by reason of the continual favors that the Blessed Virgin lavished on the
city.

campus, it is still identified as the UST Chapel and serves as a spiritual haven for
the Thomasian community. It is also the venue for Eucharistic Celebrations,
recollections and other religious activities.
On September 28, 1942, after the Sto. Domingo Church in Intramuros had
been damaged during the initial bombing raids of World War II, the image of Our
Lady of La Naval was transferred, for reasons of safety, to the UST Chapel, and
was enshrined there until October 10, 1954. The image was again transferred in a
solemn procession to the newly-erected Convent of Santo Domingo in Quezon
City.
In commemoration of the 50th year of the said transfer, the image of Our
Lady of La Naval returned to the University on October 1, 1992. After the nine-day
novena, Our Lady was brought back in a solemn procession to her shrine in
Santo Domingo Church.

On 1906, Redemptorists arrived in the country to introduce the Mother of

The first Perpetual Novena was done in Iloilo in the Redemptorist Church in St.
Clement in May 1946.
The congregation started to explore the country. Father Gerard O’Donnel
became the first Rector in Baclaran on 23 June 1948. Father Leo English
conducted the first novena in the Baclaran Church. The church had a 300 person
capacity yet only 70 people attended.
Before the end of 1949, Wednesday became the official day of prayer for the
Virgin of Perpetual Help, therefore also making it the novena day for the week.
Slowly Filipinos began to flock to the church making it hard to accommodate more
people, but with the help of Filipino communities’ donations and thanksgiving
letters the church was renovated to help more people.
At present, the church continues to accommodate thousands of devotees,
though it is still uncertain why Filipino people choose to hear mass specifically at
the Baclaran Church.
