Read More	Saint Augustine of Hippo Cathedral Saint Augustine of Hippo Cathedral is the seat of the Diocese of Iba, in the Zambales Province, of Central Luzon. The Catholic faith first came to the territory of the diocese in 1607, through the efforts of the missionaries of the Order of Augustinian Recollects. They settled in Subic, Masinloc, Sta. Cruz, Iba, and Cabangan, where they established the first centers of the faith. The cathedral was constructed in the 1700’s, by the Recollects, in coral and limestone. On the right of the cathedral, stands a five story octagonal carillon tower. The faith flourished in the region until the troubled days of the Revolution of 1896. Leaving ruined churches and convents in its wake the revolution rendered the region practically unattended; only some time later did secular priests take over some of the vacated parishes. In this state of things the territory became a fertile ground for the Aglipayan schism to gain a foothold and prosper, so much so that almost the whole length and breadth of the province come under Aglipayan influence. Upon invitation of the Archbishop of Manila, Michael J O’Doherty, the Divine Word Fathers took over the spiritual care of Zambales some time in 1928. Starting their missionary activities in Iba and San Narciso, they gradually took over other towns and localities, concentrating their work in rebuilding ruined churches, building new ones, establishing more parishes, erecting schools and conducting catechism centers whereby they hoped to regain much lost group through the young. The administration of the faith in the province changed hand when the territory was transferred to the care of the Columban Fathers in 1951. The prelature of Iba was erected on October 18, 1955 as suffragan of the archdiocese of Manila. The Most Rev Henry Byrne, SSC was appointed the first prelate ordinary and he took economical possession of concentrating on their work. The prelature was effective as of November 4, 1956. On November 15, 1982, Iba was elevated to diocese. Upon the death of Bishop Byrne the Most Rev. Paciano B. Aniceto, then auxiliary bishop of Tuguegarao, was appointed second bishop of Iba. On January 31, 1989, he was appointed archbishop of San Fernando, Pampanga. The Most Rev. Deogracias S. Yñiguez, Jr. succeeded him on December 27, 1989.
