“VOLUNTAS TUA DELECTATIO MEA”
Let us join His Excellency, the Most Rev. Florentino G. Lavarias, D.D., as he celebrates the 20th year of his episcopacy today, August 12, 2024. In 2004, Archbishop Antonio Franco, who was then the Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines, ordained Archbishop Dong to the order of bishops. His principal co-consecrators are Most Reverend Paciano Aniceto (in photo) and Most Reverend Gaudencio Rosales of Manila. After receiving his episcopal ordination, Bishop Lavarias became the Bishop of Iba until 2014 and is the current Archbishop of San Fernando.
