With great joy, we celebrate the appointment of Reverend Father Nick A. Vaquilar as the new Bishop of the Diocese of Urdaneta, entrusted by the Holy Father to shepherd a community in need of faith, hope, and direction. From forming minds and hearts in the seminary, he now steps into the fullness of pastoral leadership.
May his ministry be marked by humility in service, strength in trials, and unwavering love for the flock entrusted to him. May Christ the Good Shepherd be his constant model, and may the Blessed Virgin Mary wrap him in her care.
Deo gratias.
Happy Birthday and heartfelt congratulations, Bishop Nick A. Vaquilar!
