San Roque Parish was founded after the division of Pateros to Pasig by Fray Andres Vehil and Fr. Manuel Pelaes on July 7, 1815. In 1863, an earthquake damaged and destroyed the church. Renovation of the church was completed in 1893. During the Philippine Revolution, the church was destroyed for the second time during the Battle of Pateros on March 14, 1899.{{cite web |url=https://www.dssm-srppateros.org/about |accessdate=March 19, 2024 |title=About |website=Santa Marta-San Roque |publisher=San Roque Parish Social Communications Ministry}}

During World War II, families of the civilians who were arrested, were taken to the church, which served as a prison. In December 1944, the Japanese soldiers killed many civilians inside the church. After the war, the people of Pateros and the church rose again.

On August 21, 2003, the church was placed under the jurisdiction of the newly-established Diocese of Pasig. In 2015, under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Roy Rosales, San Roque Parish celebrated its 200th anniversary.
