San Sebastian Church

Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel

Our History

The year was 1621, and the first church built was piquantly small and made of material indigenous to the area, bamboo and nipa. It should be noted that, even at its earliest beginning, his humble house of prayer already functioned as a quasi-parish. It was made o administer all the church sacraments including baptism. The administration of the sacraments were in turn recorded and entered in the canonical books, and the same was, it a much later date, surrendered and entrusted to the parish priest of Quiapo, by the prior of the newly founded church.
