'''Malolos Cathedral''', formally known as the '''Minor Basilica and Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception''',{{efn|{{lang-fil|Basilika Menor at Katedral ng Kalinis-linisang Paglilihi ng Malolos}}; {{lang-es|Basílica Menor y Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción de Malolos}}}} is a historic cathedral in the city of [[Malolos]], the capital of the province of [[Bulacan]], in the [[Philippines]].

== History == | |||
The parish dates back to the arrival of Spanish missionaries to Malolos in 1580, and the establishment of an [[Augustinians|Augustinian]] monastery. The first church and convent were built in 1591 of modest means. The congregation was formally established as a parish until 1673, the same year the town of Malolos was incorporated. The original church complex was expanded in 1691, and entirely reconstructed from 1734-1744.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Malolos Cathedral - the church and its people |url=http://www.geocities.ws/dioecesismalolosinus/History1.html |access-date=2023-11-08 |website=Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception - Diocese of Malolos}}</ref> | |||
In 1813, a fire destroyed both the church and convent, and reconstruction was started in 1819. The new church was consecrated by Francisco Alban, bishop of [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia|Nueva Segovia]] on 18 October 1826. The earthquakes of 1863 and 1880 both damaged the church, and restorations were undertaken from 1859-1872 and in 1883.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
On 10 September 1898, the convent was appropriated by General [[Emilio Aguinaldo]] and used as the presidential palace for the [[First Philippine Republic]]. On 31 March 1899, as they were fleeing from the American army, Aguinaldo ordered Gen. [[Antonio Luna]] to set fire to the complex as part of their [[scorched-earth policy]].<ref name=":0" /> | |||
During the [[American occupation of the Philippines]], the church and convent were gradually rebuilt and renovated. A new baptistery was dedicated in 1954, and the roof replaced in 1955-1961.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
The church was renovated further in preparation for its designation as a cathedral after the diocese of Malolos was created in 1962. It was consecrated as a cathedral by its second bishop, Rev. Cirilo Almario Jr., in 1976.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
From 1990-1992, an [[Eucharistic adoration|adoration]] chapel was built, the baptistery was converted to a mortuary chapel, and a crypt was built beneath the high altar.<ref name=":0" /> | |||
On 4 December 1999, the cathedral was elevated to a [[minor basilica]] dedicated to the Immaculate Conception.<ref>{{Cite web |title=La Virgen Inmaculada Concepcion de Malolos - Patroness of the Diocese |url=https://dioceseofmalolos.ph/patroness/ |access-date=2023-11-08 |website=Roman Catholic Diocese of Malolos - Ang Sandigan |language=}}</ref> | |||
