In May 1597, Fr. Juan de Torres, S.J., established the mission of Loboc, which was canonically established as a parish dedicated to San Pedro Apostol[.] In 1602, the present church, built on foundations of the early church which was destroyed by the fire, was started in 1670 and completed in 1734. The convent annexed to the church in a three-storey structure, was the central residence of the Jesuit Missions. In 1768, the Recollects were assigned the former missions in Bohol; they built the octagonal bell tower separate from the main church structure. Sometime in 1858, Fray Aquilino Bon, O.A.R., built the portico in front of the church façade and the octagional mortuary chapel at the gospel flank of the church. (English)
