Located in the heart of the City of Urdaneta, Pangasinan, the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral Parish Church currently holds the seat of the Diocese of Urdaneta. The church was formally accepted by the Dominican Order as a parish in 1863. The original structure, which is the current site of Urdaneta City National High School, was started on March 4, 1884. However, in 1945, it was destroyed by American bombs during World War II. The church was presumably rebuilt on its current location and was erected as the Diocese of Urdaneta by virtue of the Papal Bull of Pope John Paul II in 1985.
