Located at Poblacion, Kawit, Cavite.
St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church is one of the oldest churches in the Province of Cavite. It was initially built of wood in 1638 and was erected by six Filipino families hailing from the towns of Maragondon and Silang. St. Mary Magdalene is the Patroness Saint of Kawit.
In 1737, the cornerstones were built. However, they were destroyed in 1831 by a strong typhoon. It was handled by the Secular priests in 1786 and then by the Augustinian Recollects in 1894. The present structure was constructed in 1737. Through the concerted efforts of the Kawiteños, the church was renovated in 1990.
In 1869, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, the president of the first Philippine Republic was baptized in this church. Agunaldo's birth certificate is kept inside a glass cabinet on the left side of the altar. A life-sized statue of St. Mary Magdalene is stored inside the parish church of Kawit. The present parish priest is Fr. Luciano Paguiligan.
