Church interior in 2023
The Santo Niño Parish Church was founded in 1770 by the Augustinian . Its namesake, the Santo Niño would be attributed to the end of a cholera epidemic in 1889. The arrival of the image of the child Jesus Christ in the Port of Tacloban , which was previously believed to be lost at sea, on June 30, 1889, was credited to have caused a miracle ending the outbreak.[ 1]
The church underwent restoration in December 2014 after being severely damaged by Typhoon Haiyan (Supertyphoon Yolanda) in November 2013.[ 2]
On November 1, 2021, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic , the church was elevated to an archdiocesan shrine from a parish.[ 1] [ 3]
