SEDE VACANTE

Diocese of Catarman

Canon Law (418) states that on transfer, a bishop becomes administrator of his current diocese, and the previous post only becomes vacant or SEDE VACANTE when he takes canonical possesion of the new diocese or assignment, which must be within two months upon notice.

Sede vacante is a term for the state of an episcopal see while without a bishop. In the canon law of the Catholic Church, the term is used to refer to the vacancy of any see of a particular church

As Auxiliary Bishop, His Excellency Bishop Nolly Buco, DD is now the administrator of the Diocese of Catarman.

IF YOU FALL DOWN, GET UP | "Have you ever gotten tired? Think about what happens when you get tired and you don't want to do anything. Do you just give up and fall down?

There’s something beautiful that I’d want to say to you today - the Alps. Those who climb the Alps have a really beautiful song that says the art of climbing the mountains, what you need to do is not that you don't fall but you don't stay down on the ground.

If you stay fallen on the ground, or if you go into retirement from this life, you've closed hope.

When we see a friend who has fallen down, what do we need to do? Pick them up. Powerfully, get them up.

What do we need to do when we help someone up? Look at them from up above. The only moment when it's okay to look at a person from up on top is to help them get back up again."

- His Holiness Pope Francis in his message during the Evening Vigil at Campo da Graça (Parque Tejo)

HAPPY PRIESTS’ DAY! 🙏

Let us all pray for the sanctification of our priests.

+ O Jesus, our great High Priest, hear my humble prayers on behalf of your priests. Give them a deep faith, a bright and firm hope and a burning love which will ever increase in the course of their priestly life.

In their loneliness, comfort them. In their sorrows, strengthen them. In their frustrations, point out to them that it is through suffering that the soul is purified, and show them that they are needed by the Church; they are needed by souls; they are needed for the work of redemption. Amen.
