BRIEF HISTORY
BRIEF HISTORY
The Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Dagupan City holds a unique spiritual distinction—it's one of only two churches in Pangasinan granted a special bond of spiritual affinity in perpetuity with a Papal Basilica in the Vatican, specifically with the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, as declared by the Apostolic Penitentiary through Most Rev. Emmanuel Monteiro de Castro. Located along Burgos Street, this cathedral stands behind the historic old church of Dagupan, which suffered damage from earthquakes over the years. On May 31, 1964, the first stone of the new cathedral was laid, and by 1974, it was fully inaugurated as the Metropolitan Cathedral we know today. Rather than being left behind, the old church was lovingly restored and, by 1995, returned to its former glory. Today, Dagupan is blessed with two parishes: the restored old church, now recognized as the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan, and the Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, both serving as powerful symbols of faith, resilience, and continuity in the life of the Church.

O Maluwalhating Apostol at Ebanghelista, San Juan, ikaw na tinanglawan ng maraming biyaya mula sa langit, sa iyo ipinakita ang mga matataas na katotohanan ng kalangitan. Sa iyo ipinahayag ang labanang magaganap na magiging tagumpay ng Iglesya laban sa lahat ng uri ng kaaway. Ipanalangin mo, San Juan Ebanghelista, tunay na banal at dalisay, na kami nawa ay magtaglay ng biyaya upang laging mamuhay sa pananampalataya ng Inang Simbahan. Taglayin nawa namin ang isang pamumuhay na nakalaan sa paglilingkod sa lalo pang ikadadakila ng Diyos, sa pagmamahal kay Hesus, at at sa kabutihan ng lahat ng tao. Amen.

O Glorious, Apostle and Evangelist St. John,
you who were illumined by an abundance of supernatural light,
to you was revealed the most sublime truths of heaven.
To you was pre-announced the combat the church
was to obtain over every type of enemy.
Obtain for us we pray, St. John holy and pure,
the grace to always live in the faith of the church,
the universe mother of the true children of God
and to live a life that serves to increase the glory of God,
the love of Jesus and the good of all people. Amen.
St. John, pray for us
