Dauis Church
Dauis Church, officially known as the Assumption of Our Lady Shrine-Parish Church, is a Roman Catholic church in the municipality of Dauis, Bohol, Philippines, within the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Tagbilaran. Founded by Jesuit priests in 1697, it is one of the oldest churches in the province. After being damaged by the 2013 Bohol earthquake, it was restored and reconstructed from 2015 to 2017.
The church houses an image of Our Lady of the Assumption, which was canonically crowned in 2023. The church is also famous for its miraculous underground water well. It has been declared a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines and a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.
Dauis Church was founded by Jesuit priests in 1697. The church was made of light materials based on Jesuit records. In 1753, Fr. Joseph Nepomuceno, S.J. built a convent in the church complex which became the Jesuits' residence after transferring from Loboc. By 1768, the Jesuits were expelled from the Philippines and the Augustinian Recollects took over.
In 1769, the Recollects built another church structure made of bamboo and wood; this was destroyed by a fire in 1795.
Construction of the fifth and current structure, made of stone, was initiated by Fr. Julio Saldana, a Recollect priest, in 1863. During this stage, the Recollects ended the administration of the parish church during the Philippine Revolution. The church was consecrated on August 23, 1923.
On August 15, 2004, the church was declared as a diocesan shrine of its patroness, Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion.
In 2009, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) passed a resolution declaring Dauis Church as a National Historical Landmark; a marker was installed on May 16. On August 29, 2011, the National Museum of the Philippines designated the church a National Cultural Treasure; a new marker was unveiled on August 14, 2023.
On October 15, 2013, a strong earthquake heavily damaged the church and several other churches designated as National Cultural Treasures.
