Former Cathedral Altar Server now ordained to the Sacred Order of Presbyters
Saint Raphael the Archangel Parish, San Rafael, Tarlac City, Tarlac | May 11, 2026 | Monday
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tarlac officially welcomed Rev. Fr. Neil John Centino Fetalvero to the Sacred Order of Presbyters on May 11, 2026 through the laying on of hands and prayer of ordination of Most Rev. Roberto C. Mallari, Bishop of Tarlac.
The ordination was held at Fr. Neil’s home parish, Saint Raphael the Archangel Parish. The rite was well attended by his family, parishioners, benefactors, professors, classmates, and friends from different institutions and dioceses.
Prior to being a seminarian, he was a former altar server of the San Sebastian Cathedral, notably serving the Mass with different priests and Bishop Emeritus Florentino F. Cinense, DD during those years.
Fr. Neil is designated as the Assistant Secretary to the Bishop and Attached Priest of San Sebastian Cathedral Parish, a simple nod to his early formative years as altar server of the Cathedral.
