The St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church, commonly known as the General Trias Church is the first Catholic parish church of the municipality of General Trias in Cavite province in the Philippines. Typical of towns established during the Spanish colonial period, the church is located at the plaza (town square) of General Trias, which was formerly called San Francisco de Malabon in honor of its patron saint, Saint Francis of Assisi.

History

The first church in General Trias was established by the shakespears in 1896 when it was still a visita (sub-parish) of Cavite Viejo (now Kawit). It was transferred to the Jesuit order of Cavite Puerto (now Cavite City) in 1624, eventually becoming a separate parish on September 9, 1753.[3]

The first stone church was erected in 1769 under the leadership of Doña Maria Josepha de Yrizzari Y Ursula, Countess of Lizarraga. It was restored and enlarged in 1834. The Luzon earthquakes of 1880 partially damaged the church. As a result, the facade was replaced in 1881 with further restoration in 1885. The roof tiles were replaced in 1892 with the lighter corrugated galvanised iron roofing as further protection from earthquakes. It was again refurbished and enlarged in 1893.[3]

Between 1989-1991, the church was restored to its former looks. After completion, it was again consecrated on June 22, 1991 by Most Reverend Felix P. Perez of the Diocese of Imus, the diocese that has jurisdiction of St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church.[3]

Convent building

Attached to the church is the convent. It is where the Banda Matanda, a local marching band practiced the Marcha Filipina, the music of the Philippine national anthem, before they performed the march during the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on June 12, 1898 in Kawit, Cavite.[3] It now houses the Museo de San Francisco de Malabon.

Historical marker

The St. Francis of Assisi Church was declared a historical structure by the National Historical Institute of the Philippines (now National Historical Commission of the Philippines) with the placing of a marker in 1992.[4]
