San Roque Cathedral (Caloocan City South)

 cathedral, place with historical importance, Roman Catholic church, historical building

Caloocan Cathedral, known canonically as San Roque Cathedral, was first erected as a parish church on April 8, 1815, by then Archbishop of Manila Juan Antonio de Zulaibar, with Fray Manuel de San Miguel as the first parish priest. Its formal erection as a parish also marked the transfer of the church to its present site.

In the year 2000, which was designated as a Jubilee year for the whole of the Catholic Church, San Roque Church was declared as one of the Jubilee Churches in the Archdiocese of Manila by his Eminence, Jaime Cardinal Sin, Archbishop of Manila. Three years after, in his papal bull Quoniam Quaelibet, Blessed John Paul II created the Diocese of Kalookan on June 28, 2003, thus, elevating the Mother Church of Kalookan as a Cathedral.
