CDO Cathedral

The Augustinian Recollects first evangelized in what is now known as Cagayan de Oro City in 1622. The establishment of the first settlement is attributed to Fr. Agustin de San Pedro in 1626. The city was fomerly known as "Cagayan de Misamis" before it became the capital town of Segundo Distrito de Misamis in 1872. It became a city in 1950 when its name was changed into Cagayan de Oro and its San Agustin Cathedral was rebuilt.
