San Lorenzo Ruiz Parish (SLRP) was first established in January 1988 when street masses were held in Pacita 2A presided by Fr. Mar Castillo, but the construction of the parish was started in March 1990 from the initial funds of the Ladies of San Lorenzo Ruiz, donations, and various fund raising projects of different religious organizations.
In November last year, the Silver Jubilee celebration of the erection of San Lorenzo Ruiz Parish was held. Among those who graced the event were Manila Archbishop Emeritus Gaudencio B. Cardinal Rosales, D.D., San Pablo Bishop Buenaventura M. Famadico, D.D. and San Pablo Bishop-Emeritus Bishop Leo M. Drona, SDB, DD. Currently, Rev. Fr.
