History
A parish was established in the town of Daanbantayan, Cebu in April 10, 1858.[1][2] This was followed by the erection of the stone building of the Daanbantayan Church in 1886.[3]
In August 30, 2022, the Archdiocese of Cebu elevated the then-parish church into an archdiocesan shrine becoming the first church dedicated to Roman Catholic saint Rose of Lima to have that status.[4]
The Daanbantayan Church was significantly destroyed during the 2025 Cebu earthquake,[5][6] resulting in the loss of 70 to 80% of its structure.[7] The retable of Rose de Lima survived the earthquake.[8] There are plans to restore the church building.[9]
