A sacred and meaningful moment unfolded at the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Señor Santo Niño - Diocese of Kabankalan as children of God took a step deeper into their faith through the Investiture of the Knights of the Altar. Clothed with their vestments and entrusted with their duties, they are now called to serve the Lord with reverence, discipline, and humility. This beautiful celebration is not just a ceremony, but a commitment—a promise to grow in faith and to faithfully assist in the Holy Eucharist. May these new Knights of the Altar continue to be guided by Señor Santo Niño, becoming instruments of devotion and service in the Church.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end.” (Lam 3:22–23)

Starting April 13–17, 2026, the clergy of the Diocese of Kabankalan gather for their Annual Spiritual Re-Charging Retreat at Bukal ng Tipan (CCM) Retreat House in Talisay City.

This sacred time is dedicated to deep prayer, reflection, and discernment, seeking to become more effective witnesses of the Risen Lord in today’s world. In the midst of global challenges and uncertainties, we are called to remain rooted in faith and hope, trusting in God’s greater plan.

We humbly invite everyone to accompany our priests through your prayers and devotion, especially before the Blessed Sacrament, that their hearts may be renewed and strengthened for mission.

With the intercession of St. Francis Xavier, Patron of our Diocese, may we continue to move forward together in faith, believing that truly, WE CAN DO BETTER!

Sa taos-pusong pasasalamat, kinikilala natin ang lahat ng naglaan ng kanilang oras, pagod, at talento upang maging maayos at makahulugan ang pagdiriwang ng Mahal na Araw. Mula sa ating mga pari, seminarians, altar servers, choir, lectors at commentators, lay ministers, collectors, apostoles, angels, SOCCOM/documentation team, hanggang sa iba’t ibang ministry at volunteers—ang inyong paglilingkod ay naging daluyan ng biyaya at pag-asa sa buong sambayanan.

Sa bawat panalangin, awit, pagbasa ng Salita ng Diyos, paghahanda ng liturhiya, at tahimik na paglilingkod sa likod ng mga gawain, ipinakita ninyo ang tunay na diwa ng pag-aalay at pagkakaisa. Dahil sa inyong pagtutulungan, naging mas taimtim at makabuluhan ang pagninilay sa paghihirap, kamatayan, at muling pagkabuhay ng ating Panginoon.

Maraming salamat sa inyong dedikasyon at pagmamahal sa Simbahan. Nawa’y patuloy kayong pagpalain ng Panginoon sa inyong paglilingkod.

Sa ngalan ng ating parokya, Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Señor Santo Niño - Diocese of Kabankalan kami ay taos-pusong nagpapasalamat sa inyong lahat 🤍

𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗨𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢 (𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗮) | 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆

Before dawn breaks on Easter Sunday, the sacred Encuentro (Sugata) unfolds — a moment of hope, joy, and reunion.

The Risen Christ meets His Blessed Mother, and sorrow gives way to gladness. The veil of grief is lifted, and the Church rejoices: He is alive! Alleluia!

In this beautiful tradition, we witness the triumph of life over death, light over darkness, and love over despair. May this early morning encounter remind us that every pain has its Easter, and every cross leads to resurrection.

Rejoice, for the Lord has risen! Alleluia!

During the solemn celebration of the 𝙀𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙑𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙡, the faithful gathered to take part in the 𝙍𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙨, a meaningful moment that calls us to remember the grace of our own baptism. With lighted candles in hand, we renounced sin and professed our faith in God, renewing our commitment to live as children of the light. This sacred rite reminds us that through baptism, we share in Christ’s victory over sin and death, and are called to walk in the newness of life.

As the blessed water was sprinkled upon the assembly, it served as a sign of spiritual renewal and cleansing. The community was invited to reaffirm their faith, strengthen their devotion, and embrace the mission of living the Gospel in everyday life. May this renewal of baptismal promises inspire us to remain faithful to Christ, grow in holiness, and joyfully proclaim the Resurrection through our words and actions. 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙡𝙪𝙞𝙖!
