Archbishop Palma

Outgoing Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma bid farewell to the archdiocese with a heartfelt homily of gratitude at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral on September 28, highlighting unity and shared faith as the foundation of the Church’s journey under his leadership.

A senior Filipino prelate reminded his fellow bishops that they are called not to be dictators but to be pastors who love and serve their flock.

He succeeded Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal on October 15, 2010, becoming the fourth Archbishop of Cebu, and he was installed on January 13, 2011.

The Archdiocese of Cebu invites the faithful to participate in the fifth Asian Apostolic Congress on Mercy or AACOM.
