The Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Saint Joseph, commonly known as Las Piñas Church or Bamboo Organ Church, is a Roman Catholic parish church in Las Piñas, just south of the city of Manila in the Philippines. It nestles in the heart of Barangay Daniel Fajardo, one of the oldest districts of Las Piñas. The church is renowned to house the Bamboo Organ, a pipe organ made mostly with bamboo pipes. To the right of the church is an old Spanish convent converted into a gift shop and the entrance for observing the organ up close. Also in the church complex is St. Joseph's Academy, a private, Catholic primary and secondary education school established in 1914.
The parish is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Parañaque. The parish priest has been Roberto A. Olaguer since July 11, 2020.
