Saint Francis of Assisi Parish Church, also known as the Diocesan Shrine of Santo Cristo de Burgos and commonly known as Sariaya Church, is a Roman Catholic church in Sariaya, Quezon, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Lucena. Based on the historical marker of St. Francis of Assisi Church, the first structure was constructed in 1599. The second church was built in 1605 but was replaced by a third church in 1641. In 1703, the town was transferred to Lumangbayan but the earthquakes and floods of 1743 destroyed the church and the town caused the people to transfer to the present site. The present church was built in 1748 during the term of two Spanish friars, namely Fr. Martin de Talavera and Fr. Joaquin Alapont.
