The Santuario de la Inmaculada Concepcion (transl. Shrine of the Immaculate Conception), also known as Immaculate Conception Parish Church and Concepcion Church, is a late 19th-century, Baroque Roman Catholic church located at Brgy. San Nicolas Poblacion, Concepcion, Tarlac, Philippines. The parish church, under the aegis of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Tarlac.
History suggests two origins for the town of Concepcion. First, Concepcion was already an established parish separate from its matrix in Magalang, Pampanga on August 9, 1866. The second story is that it was created in 1860 from the following barrios of Magalang: Matondo, Maycanalo, San Martin, Bucsit, San Juan and Garlit.[1]
