Nalipat ang pangangasiwa sa mga paring sekular noong 1768. Napinsala ng Lindo noong Hulyo 18, 1880. Nilisan noong 1930 noong ang bayan ay inilipat upang magbigay daan sa isang panukalang prinsa. Nagbalik ang taong-bayan sa boso-boso nang hindi naisakatuparan ang gawain. Ang simbahan ay natupok ng apoy nooong 1943 at ibinalik sa dating kalagayan noong 1995 sa pamamagitan ng kabutihan ng mga mananampalataya."
