Santa Catalina de Alejandria Church, Baroque Catholic church in Porac, Philippines.
Santa Catalina de Alejandria Church is a baroque structure in Porac featuring Corinthian columns and iron-grilled windows throughout its design. The building displays classical baroque architectural elements in its overall composition.
The church received permission in 1734 to use convent funds for construction, leading to the first masonry structure in the area. This initial building effort established the foundation for the place's religious and architectural development.
The church facade displays the Augustinian emblem and a rose window depicting Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The saint's name defines the identity of this place to visitors today.
The church is located in Barangay Poblacion and is easily reached from Porac's central area. Regular services are held here, so it may help to check times before visiting to plan your schedule.
A 6.1 magnitude earthquake in 2019 severely damaged the structure and reduced the original four-story bell tower to its ground level. The rebuilding effort reflects the community's resilience in the face of natural disasters.
