Morong Church, Parish church in Morong, Philippines
Saint Jerome Parish Church has a three-story facade with an octagonal bell tower that combines Chinese and European architectural elements at each corner.
Built in 1620 by Chinese craftsmen after a wooden church burned down in 1612, the stone structure stands on elevated land near Morong River.
The parish displays first-class relics of Saint Jerome received in 2005, with weekly exhibitions during Saturday masses under the watch of dedicated knights.
The church measures forty-two meters long and twelve meters wide, with its sanctuary rising ten meters above the town level for increased visibility.
Chinese-style stone lions guard the entrance while the illuminated cross on the tower serves as a nighttime landmark across the countryside.
