Morong Church, Parish church in Morong, Philippines
Morong Church is a Catholic parish church in Morong featuring a three-story facade with an octagonal bell tower. The structure blends Chinese and European architectural elements visible in its corner decorations.
The church was built in 1620 by Chinese craftsmen following the destruction of a wooden church that burned down in 1612. The stone structure sits on elevated ground near the Morong River.
The church holds relics of Saint Jerome that were brought to the parish in the early 2000s, and locals gather here for important religious celebrations throughout the year.
The building sits on elevated land, improving the visibility of the sanctuary from lower parts of town. The site is walkable and offers good views of the surrounding area.
Stone lions in Chinese style guard the entrance to the sanctuary. An illuminated cross at the top of the tower serves as a nighttime guide for people across the surrounding countryside.
