Santuario del Santo Cristo Parish, also known as the Church of San Juan del Monte, is a church and convento in San Juan, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Manila. The church was built in 1602–1604 by the Dominicans on land that was donated to the order. Both the church and convento were burnt and destroyed during the Chinese insurrection of 1639, and later rebuilt in 1641. It was again destroyed in July 1763 as Britain briefly occupied Manila during the Seven Years' War. The current church and convento were built in 1774, and used as a shelter by Katipuneros during the 1898 Philippine Revolution against the Spanish Empire. It has since been renovated many times until the 1990s.
Pope Urban VIII granted approbation towards the shrine, notarized on March 4, 1648. The shrine is the seat of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Christ of Saint John of the Mountain (Spanish: Cofradia del Santísimo Cristo de San Juan del Monte Cristo de San Juan del Monte).[2][3]
