Church located in the
municipality of Sta. Maria,

It is under the coat of
arms and jurisdiction of
the Roman Catholic Bishop

Early History
It was founded by Franciscan Friars as a visita
by Fr. Francisco Javier, OFM under the parish of
Saint Martin of Tours in Bocaue, Bulacan.
The church’s materials were initially made of
cogon and bamboo, then later on replaced with
stronger and sturdier materials.
By 1972, Santa Maria de Pandi gained independence
from its matrix and the construction commenced. The
church was renamed Parroquia de la Purisima
Concepcion, dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

of Greek architecture can be seen

ceiling. It was not exactly built with the little
details of the Greek Architecture but the paintings

Most of the Greek Architecture are often raised on
high grounds to perceive elegance of its proportion and the
same for this church, it is elevated to make the view available
at all angles and to remember that it is the sacred place for
our most respectable Creator.
The church is also hinted with Roman influences as the
ceiling structure of the church is a semi-circular arch full of
biblical sights. As far as I can remember, majority of the
foundation of the church was build through the stones and
bricks which reflects Roman Architecture.
