The parish of Santuario de San Pedro Bautista (formerly named San Pedro Bautista Parish), stands on holy ground because of its Patron Saint, San Pedro Bautista, lived out his vocation, re-energized his missionary calling and prayed for God's people here. It is the second oldest church in the Philippines.
The parish belongs to the Diocese of Cubao under the Vicariate of San Pedro Bautista. It is also under the care of Order of Friars Minor (OFM, aka Franciscans), from the Franciscan Province of San Pedro Bautista.

Famous quotes containing the word san:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
