CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOSEPH
The parish of Tagbilaran is one of the first 6 parishes founded by the Jesuit missionaries who came to Bohol in 1595. Saint Joseph the Worker, a favorite among the Jesuits, was enthroned as the patron saint by Rev. Fr. Joaquin de San Jose in 1767, a year before the Jesuits were expelled from the country.
When the Jesuits left the Philippines in 1768, the parish was turned over to the Recollects. The original church, which was built by the Jesuits through forced labor of the natives, stood on the very spot where the present church stands but was razed to the ground on December 23, 1798. The church, in the form of a cross as most old churches are, was reconstructed and enlarged through the efforts of Rev. Fr. Valero de San Sebastian from 1839 -1855. A 2-storey convent was added by Rev. Fr. Lucas Corominas in 1872. The bell tower, built from 1854-1888, was the contribution to history by Rev. Fr. Jose Sanchez.
Rev. Fr. Escolastico Enciso made improvements between the years 1888 and 1894 by adding iron cornices, wooden flooring, and chandeliers. An atrial cross, put up in front of the church in February 1828, was repaired by the Knights of Columbus, Council 31116, on February 1949. Where the atrial cross once stood, the statue of St. Joseph the Worker has been enthroned as the patron saint of the whole province of Bohol on May 1, 1996, as a part of the Cathedral Expansion Project. Renovations in the 20th century, between1945 and 1951, were initiated by the first Bishop of the Diocese of Bohol, Msgr. Julio Rosales, assisted by the parish priest, Rev. Fr. Arturo Tecson.
The Cathedral of Saint Joseph the Worker, the main seat of the Catholic faith in Bohol, sprawls on a wide area facing Carlos P. Garcia Avenue, the principal street of Tagbilaran City. Located in the central part of the city, the church has a picturesque setting.
