HISTORYThe Church of San Vicente de Paul was originally built as a chapel in 1883 and used as parish church of Paco from 1898 to 1909. The concrete parish church was built in 1912 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the Vicentians and Sisters of Charity in the Philippines.
This Church was totally renovated - interior and exterior - in 2010. This Church was almost razed to the ground when the American forces entered Manila in 1945. The Jaapanese Army burned the interior of the Church in February 1945 when their defeat was imminent.
