Nuestra Señora de los Remedios Parish began as a Jesuit mission in 1950 when Fr. Raimundo Argarate, SJ, came to the island and established basic ecclesiastical communities. The statue of the patroness of the parish was donated by the Miranda family.

In 2005, the pastoral care of the Nuestra Señora de los Remedios was turned over to the Divine Word Missionaries or the SVD. Fr. Roger Alasan, SVD, became its first SVD parish priest.
