During the time of Father Blas, he initiated the rebuilding of the church, but it was destroyed by the typhoon (again) in 1892.
During the American Colonial Period, the 3rd construction of the church began. It was during the time of Father Banzon. The new church has Greek columns and its design was heavily influenced by the Americans.
St. Narciso (Narcissus) is known for performing miracles. He was the 30th bishop of Jerusalem. One of those miracles is the conversion of water into oil used in church during Easter.
