The National Shrine and Cathedral Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption, commonly known as Maasin Cathedral, is a baroque Roman Catholic church in Maasin City, Southern Leyte, Philippines. It is the seat of the Diocese of Maasin.
The church is home to one of the oldest parishes of the country. The cathedral also houses a 200-year old antique statue of the Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Maasin or known as the "Patrona". The Maasin parish established by the series of waves of missionaries namely the Jesuits, Augustinians and finally, Franciscans.[1] Originally built in 1700 by Jesuit priests, the church suffered several destruction and damage over the years, but has been rebuilt many times by the orders succeeding the Jesuits. Its present-day structure is constructed at 1968 and subsequently became the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maasin which covers the City of Maasin and the other municipalities of Southern Leyte, including the towns of Matalom, Bato, Hilongos, Hindang, Inopacan and City of Baybay in the province of Leyte.
