The Cathedral-Shrine of Saint Joseph, Husband of Mary, commonly known as Balanga Cathedral, in Balanga, Bataan, is the seat of the Diocese of Balanga which comprises entire of the civil province of Bataan, Philippines. Currently, Noel Niguid and John Carlo Vizon serve as the cathedral priests. It was originally named as Parish of St. Joseph until November 8, 1975, when Bataan was under the Archdiocese of San Fernando until Bishop Celso Nogoy Guevarra became first Bishop of Balanga, separating the province from an archdiocese and converting it into a cathedral of the province's own Catholic jurisdiction Diocese of Balanga. On March 19, 2015, the cathedral was formally declared a diocesan shrine, changing its status from cathedral-parish to cathedral-shrine.
