IT WAS IN 1952 THAT A LOT WAS DONATED by the Ramirez family for the construction of a chapel. The project was spearheaded by a group of faithful and strong–willed Christians, some of which are Emilio Cabildo, Rosenda Climaco, Maria Dee, Letty Parial, Margarita Respicio, Alfredo Sotelo, Armando Trinidad, and Petra Villaverde. As they gathered up and shared their resources, slowly, the chapel took shape.

The community that nurtured the chapel, as a part of strengthening the spiritual ties between the members of a family and then, the members of the community, organized several Christian Movements. These groups were significant in the chapel’s becoming of a parish.

On January 11, 1976, through the help of Msgr. Pacifico Mendoza, the Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was established by the Archbishop of Manila, His Eminence, Jaime L. Cardinal Sin. Rev. Fr. Alfredo Ganzon was assigned by His Eminence at the parish priest.

Fr. Ganzon faced a daunting task, as he accepted the assignment. He was building the church from scratch, yet the community, with Engr. Teodorico Zamora, who led the first Parish Pastoral Council, knew that it is possible. Through a combined – team effort, several projects and programs were made available to the public in a year.

Several improvements followed through, as Rev. Fr. Manuel Balbago was assigned to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish. He modernized the altar with a unique design, allowing air to circulate freely. It was also in his helm that the Chorale Angelorum was established.

Before the turn of the century, Rev. Fr. Edgar Merin mended the flaws of the parish –– from the parish grounds, to the innovations in spiritual formations, pilgrimages, reliving the traditions of the Catholic Faith, to the way that the liturgy is being carried out. It was also in Fr. Merin’s term that the parish successfully celebrated its 25th year of establishment.

The programs instituted since then were continuously done under Rev. Fr. Gaudencio Salise, who took over Fr. Merin’s post. It was in his term that the Bishop of the Diocese of Kalookan, His Excellency Deogracias S. Iñiguez changed the name of the parish from Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, into Hearts of Jesus and Mary Parish, to denote distinction from other parishes in the Diocese bearing the same name.

As the years move on, the parishioners of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary Parish continue on their pilgrimage to the Promised Land, through efforts in preaching the Gospel to the people who need it most. To this day, parishioners remain steadfast in their belief in God, as they strive to be a true disciple of Christ.
