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 โour Bishop,โ but rather as โ+PATRICIO, OUR APOSTOLIC ADMINISTRATOR.โ In Hiligaynon, โ+PATRICIO ANG AMON ADMINISTRADOR.โ
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.
