Founded in 1795 as a Parochial Church by the Augustinian Recollect priests under the patronage of Nuestra Señora del Pilar (Our Lady of the Pillar) and St. John the Baptist, and by the administration of Fr. Francisco de Santiago, OAR, as its first Parish Priest.

In 1823, the church was moved from Toclong to Balangon, its current location.

On November 25, 1961, the church was declared a Cathedral and the Seat of the Diocese of Imus, with Nuestra Señora del Pilar as its titular Patroness.

  • i agree with the disappointing comments. we are planning to visit the churches in cavite for a jubelee pilgrimage.i called up long distance last week to inquire about the landline no. of a parish church in gen. trias. the no. i was dialing came from the diocese of imus but unfortunately it was no longer the no. assigned to that church in gen trias. i told the lady that it was a long distance call and i just wanted to ask the telephone company serving gen trias so i can trace the new no. the lady was so "suplada" and i was really disappointed because she was not accomodating at all. that was not a nice way to answer especially that she is working in a parish office, much more the diocese of imus.
