Saint Ildephonse of Seville Parish Church (Malasiqui)

The Saint Ildephonse of Seville Parish Church is a Roman Catholic church in Malasiqui, Pangasinan in the Philippines. It was formerly a chapel under the parish of San Carlos. Father Juan Camacho was appointed first kura paroko and founded the parish in 1665. The 1660 Revolt caused the transfer from San Carlos to its present site at the town of Malasiqui in 1661–1662. The church celebrates its feast every January 23.[1]

Present church

Saint Ildephonsus was a Visigoth born into a noble family, but the date of his birth in about 607 is not known for certain. He was tutored by Saint Isidore of Seville, and then became a Benedictine monk against the wishes of his father while at a young age.
