With hearts full of joy and thanksgiving, we celebrate the appointment of Most Rev. Louie P. Galbines as the 7th Bishop of Bacolod by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.
Currently serving as Bishop of the Diocese of Kabankalan, Most Rev. Louie Galbines has been appointed as the new Bishop of the Diocese of Bacolod and will formally begin his ministry upon his canonical possession. In accordance with the instruction of the Dicastery for Bishops, the Diocese now enters a period of ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ท๐ข๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆโa term which means โthe seat being vacant,โ referring to the time when a diocese awaits the formal installation of its new bishop.
May the Holy Spirit continue to guide him with wisdom, humility, courage, and love as he shepherds Godโs people in this new mission.
Congratulations and welcome back home, Bishop Louie!
