ADSUM PAHIBALO

As instructed by the Dicastery for Bishops, our Diocese is now in a period of sede vacante until the newly appointed Bishop takes canonical possession of the Diocese.

The Dicastery has appointed Bishop Buzon as Bishop-Emeritus and Apostolic Administrator, with the rights, duties, and faculties proper to a Diocesan Bishop. Hence, in the Eucharistic Prayer, we will no longer mention Patricio as “our Bishop,” but rather as “+PATRICIO, OUR APOSTOLIC ADMINISTRATOR.” In Hiligaynon, “+PATRICIO ANG AMON ADMINISTRADOR.”

For the meantime, there should be no mention yet of +Louie as our Bishop in the liturgy until he formally takes canonical possession.

Thank you.
