General Note
  • General note - Façade of the cathedral in Cagayan de Oro City, reconstructed 4 years after it was bombed in 1944 during World War II. The first church in Cagayan, built in 1622 by the Recollect friars Juan de San Nicolas and Francisco de la Madre on the place now occupied by the cathedral, was a make-shift bamboo-and-nipa chapel. Burned in 1649, it was rebuilt in the same year only to be burned again in 1778. The following year, Fray Pedro de Sta. Barbara rebuilt the church. After it was burned for the third time in 1841, it was reconstructed under the supervision of Victoriano Racines, the gobernadorcillo at that time. The reconstructed church, completed in 1847 was improved and expanded in subsequent years until it became a cathedral upon the establishment of Cagayan as a diocese in 1934. After the bombing in 1944, the cathedral was substantially modified and enlarged.
