Holy Rosary Parish (Pisamban Maragul) Mass Schedule

The Holy Parish Church is a well-known sight among locals and visitors alike and is located in the heart of what was formerly known as the town of Culiat in Pampanga but is now known as Angeles City. The endearing nickname given to the Holy Rosary Parish Church by the people is “Pisambang Maragul,” which is Kapampangan meaning “Big Church. The church’s foundation was first laid on October 18, 1877 by the founding families of Angeles City, under the direction of Don Mariano Henson, during the Spanish colonial era, which lasted from 1877 until 1896. The first half of the church was finished by April 14, 1896, and the second half of the Catholic site, including its distinctive dome, was finished on September 17, 1891. The church was primarily constructed by Filipinos using the “polo y servicio” labor system of the Spanish colonial government that forces workers to do labor for free.
