San Roque Parish Church, also known as Saint Roch Parish Church and Lemery Church, is a Roman Catholic church in the municipality of Lemery, Batangas, in the Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Lipa. Dedicated to St. Roch and to the Our Lady of Divine Grace as its secondary patron, the fiesta is celebrated every August 16 in honor of St Roch. The feast of the Our Lady of Divine Grace is celebrated every August 15, with the traditional "Pagsundo sa Birhen" held every year in Barangay Wawa. The parish became independent from Taal by the order of Manila's archbishop on May 12, 1868.[1] The parish had recently celebrated its 150th anniversary last 2018.
