Read More	Saint Augustine Metropolitan Cathedral The Saint Augustine Metropolitan Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. The cathedral, dedicated to Saint Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, is the ecclesiastical seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro. During the Spanish era only the Province of Misamis existed, which included the present Provinces of Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental, and was handled by the civil government from Cebu. The Recollect Missionaries arrived from Cebu and started a mission in the province. A civil government of its own started only in 1901, and because one part of it was separated from the main by Iligan Bay, the government decided to divide the province into two. Misamis Oriental is the bigger portion. Today the Diocesan Cathedral is one of the 12 Cathedrals that was founded by the Order of Augustinian Recollects in the Philippines. Before 1865, the whole of Mindanao island and Sulu were part of the Diocese of Cebu. In 1865 the western half of Mindanao came under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Jaro in Panay. Then Pope Leo XIII established the Diocese of Zamboanga, separating it from Jaro and making it the first diocese in Mindanao. But it was Pope Pius X who executed this in 1910. Thus from 1910 Cagayan de Oro City became part of the Diocese of Zamboanga. It was only after forty-five years, in 1910, that the diocese of Zamboanga was established as the first diocese ever created in the entire island. Then, twenty-five years after in 1933, Pope Pius XI in a Papal Bull entitled “Ad maius religionis” divided Mindanao between the diocese of Zamboanga in the south and a new diocese that of Cagayan de Oro in the north, to which he appointed an American Jesuit, James Hayes, as the first bishop.
