San Agustin Parish Church, commonly known as Lubao Church, is a 17th-century Neo-classic, Spanish stone and brick Roman Catholic church located at Brgy. San Nicolas 1st, Lubao, Pampanga, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of San Fernando. In 1952, a historical marker bearing a brief history of the structure was installed on the facade of the church by the Historical Committee of the Philippines, precursor of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. In 2013, the church has been declared by the National Museum of the Philippines as an Important Cultural Property.[1]
