𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 || The Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro’s official statement on the false claims of priesthood by Roel Roy Banggo Ucat.

In his message dated May 7, 2026, Archbishop Jose A. Cabantan, D.D., clarifies that Ucat is not a priest of the Roman Catholic Church and has no affiliation with the Archdiocese or any recognized ecclesiastical jurisdiction. The faithful are urged to exercise prudence and vigilance, as sacraments administered by unauthorized individuals may be invalid.

The Archdiocese calls on parishes, schools, and communities to verify clergy identity, report suspicious activities, and seek sacraments only from authorized priests, safeguarding the integrity of the faith and protecting the faithful from deception.
