St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church (Filipino: ''Parokya ni Santa Maria Magdalena and Simbahan ng Pililla)'' is a Roman Catholic Church located in the municipality of Pillila, Province of Rizal, Philippines. The church was built by the Franciscans in 1583, under the patronage of St. Mary Magdalene. It is a few kilometers away from San Ildefonso Parish Church, a historical church in Tanay. On January 16, 1977, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines unveiled the historical marker of St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church. == History == In 1571, the Spaniards conquered and inhabited the towns along Laguna de Bay. Prior to Spanish colonization, Pililla was named ''Pilang Munti''. It was incorporated to the administration of Morong and was named ''Pilang Morong''. The Franciscan priests led by Fr. Diego de Oropesa and Fr. Juan de Plasencia arrived at ''Pilang Morong'' in 1572. As part of the established ''reducciones'' system, the Franciscans built the first church made from cogon and nipa in 1583. When ''Pilang Morong'' was given autonomy in 1599, the central government granted an authorization to construct a church of stone. In 1632, a conflagration destroyed the church and the whole town. When a new church was built, another destruction by fire ruined the church in 1668. A new church was immediately completed between 1670 to 1673. Renovation of the church altar and the adjacent convent were completed in 1848. Several renovation projects were also completed between 1962 to 1976.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Mary Magdalene Parish Church (Pililla, Rizal)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
