The Santa Monica Parish Church is one of the oldest churches in the province of Bulacan, Philippines, dating back to 1758. It displays Baroque architectural characteristics and features ceiling paintings which resemble those in the Sistine Chapel.[1]

History

The town of Angat was formerly part of Quingwa, now Plaridel. Angat was oppressed by the town of San Miguel, followed by the town of Bocaue. When Angat became totally separate from Quingwa, it conquered the lands of Norzagaray and Doña Remedios Trinidad.[2]

Founding of the parish

Angat became a parish in 1683, making it the sixth oldest parish in Bulacan. Augustinian priests were in charge of the management of the church. The first Augustinian priest who arrived at Angat was Fr. Juan Morelos in 1684.[2]

Architectural history

The following parish priests led the construction and redevelopment of the Santa Monica Parish Church.[3]

Fr. Juan Morelos

  • He was the first builder of the first church and the convent.

Fr. Gregorio Giner

  • He built the new parish church with stronger materials in 1758. It was finished in 1773.

Fr. Joaquin Calvo

  • He completed the facade in 1802 and was also responsible for the construction of the slender tower.

Fr. Ignacio Manzanares

  • He restored the convent which was also damaged by the 1863 earthquake.

Architectural features

Santa Monica de Angat Parish Church was designed in Baroque architectural style. This could be verified with the existence of 18 adobe posts, along with eight windows. Windows, statued niches, and spaces between horizontal string courses, dividing the front facade into three parts, were ornamented with floral carvings.[2] Also, foliated crestings on the raking course of the pediment were used as an added ornamentation.[3]

Ceiling art paintings

The ceiling paintings within the interiors of the parish church resemble the ceiling paintings of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, Rome. History of Christianity in the Philippines and culture of Angat, Bulacan such as simbang gabi, Flores de Mayo, prusisyon ng Santissimo Sakramento, and fiesta were also incorporated within the ceiling paintings.[2]

The ceiling paintings were started by G. Rene Robles in 1998 and finished by G. Jess Robles in 2002, in accordance with the order of Fr. Memeng.[2]

Present condition

Several interventions were conducted under the administration of Rev. Msgr. Angel Santiago, who was ordained as the parish priest of Santa Monica de Angat on November 15, 2013. They include:[2]

  • Addition of six wooden posts and carvings at the retablo
  • Addition of floral designs and carving of Kordero at the front side and carvings of Santa Maria, San Jose, Santa Monica, and San Agustin at the sides of the Kordero
  • Addition of carvings - carvings of chalice and host at the front side and carvings of San Markos, San Juan, San Mateo, and San Lukas at the sides of the altar
  • Replacement of marble flooring of the sanctuary with black and white granite floor tiles
  • Modification of staircase going up to the sanctuary
