A major reshuffling of priests’ assignments in the Diocese of Talibon takes effect in August this year.

During a Pontifical Mass officiated by Talibon Bishop Patrick Daniel Y. Parcon, DD, marking the town’s feast of the Blessed Trinity, he announced the inevitable transfer of assignments of some 107 priests under his diocese.

Fr. Gerson Justiniane, the chancellor of the Diocese, told The Chronicle yesterday that the last major reshuffling was in July 31, 2010, or five years ago.

Parcon, who will be the Parish Priest of the Blessed Trinity cathedral in Talibon, is the second bishop of the 29-year old Talibon Diocese. He succeded retired Bishop Christian Vincent Noel DD.

Justiniane added that the Bishop will personally install each priest on their new assignments after August 1.     Meanwhile, prior to the assumption to their new assignments, each priest will be briefed by the bishop, while each outgoing and incoming priest will orient each other regarding the situation of the parish.

The diocesan chancellor further told The Chronicle that the main thrust of the diocese for next year is the full implementation of the Basic Ecclesiastical Community (BEC).
