Before San Isidro Parish was created, the Diocese of Digos had only one church which is the Mary Mediatrix Church. Due to the increase of the population of people in Digos, they decided to create another church which is San Isidro Church.
The construction started on June 1980 through the initiative of the first Canadian Parish Priest named Father Claude Dumont in a form of Bayanihan System. Parishioners offered their services for free. Some donated construction materials, money, foods, and snacks for the workers. Major contribution for the completion of the church came from a foreign assistance and some big politicians like former Senator Alejandro Almendras Sr. and businessmen. For a period of almost two years the dreamed church was completed. It is as big as the Mary Mediatrix Church and has five masses every Sunday. It is located at the south part of Digos particularly along Rizal Avenue and Aurora Streets.
