Quick Take
San Roque Parish and the Diocesan Shrine of Santa Marta is the religious and historical heart of Pateros. The church traces its roots to an Augustinian visita founded in 1572, became a parish under San Roque in 1815, and carries difficult memories from the Revolution and World War II. It is also the center of devotion to Santa Marta, whose town fiesta is deeply tied to Pateros identity. Visit for prayer and history, not just photos: check the Mass schedule, read the NHCP marker, and keep the church quiet during services.
