Ministry of Altar Servers - New Lucena Parish

JUST IN: The Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, has appointed Most Rev. Midyphil B. Billones, D.D., Metropolitan Archbishop of Jaro, as Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Kabankalan.

The appointment, made public today through CBCP News, was announced in a letter from the Dicastery for Bishops dated August 11, 2026, and released this Friday.

As Metropolitan Archbishop and Apostolic Administrator, Archbishop Billones will shepherd the Diocese of Kabankalan—one of the suffragan dioceses of the Archdiocese of Jaro—in a "caretaker capacity" until the Holy Father appoints and installs a new bishop.

We accompany Archbishop Billones with our prayers and support as he tends to the wider flock entrusted to his care. Likewise, we lift up the Local Church of Kabankalan in prayer, that the Lord may soon grant them a new shepherd who will minister and journey with them after the Heart of Jesus.

Our prayerful congratulations to Archbishop Dodong!

Because the traditionalist group consecrated bishops without papal approval, the Vatican issued a decree on July 2 declaring those bishops and their consecrators automatically excommunicated.

Clergy Synodal Leadership Formation and Alignment (June 29-30, 2026)

As part of the 75th Anniversary of the Archdiocese of Jaro, cboth diocesan and religious clergy gathered at St. Vincent Ferrer Seminary in order to respond to the question, “Quid Nunc”, which also served as an invitation for renewal and communion.

It was a moment of prayer and reflection, as the call for collaboration and synodality was heeded so that the local church will not only focus on ideals but will also usher itself toward growth and transformation.

Priests were also given the opportunity to share their experiences in the ministry and it was a wonderful exchange of ideas and sentiments, as they listen and pay attention to one another.
