CHURCHES IN THE DIOCESE OF TALIBON

To prepare for the upcoming plenary assembly of the bishops, together with Fr. Bryand, the CBCP Asst. SecGen, we had the opportunity to visit Bohol for an ocular inspection of the meeting venues. We first inspected Bohol Tropics in Tagbilaran, where the retreat will take place. Then, we traveled to Anda to assess the resorts that will host the plenary meeting.

Bp. Danny Parcon, Bishop of Talibon, proposed Bugnaw Si-E as the main venue for the meetings. However, since its accommodations are insufficient for all the bishops, he suggested utilizing two or three nearby resorts. In line with this, we also visited Parklane, Anda Pearl, and Anda White Beach Resorts.

Since we had the weekend off we also had time to visit churches in the Diocese of Talibon. Bp. Parcon brought us to four jubilee churches nearby which were also possible venues for some of the masses of the bishops.  Then on our way back to the airport in Panglao we traveled around the island and got to visit nine more towns and churches aside from Anda where we celebrated the Sunday mass. We were able to visit fourteen towns and 15 churches in the Diocese of Talibon: Jagna, Duero, Guindulman, Candijay, Anda, Mabini, Alicia, Ubay, Camambugan (Ubay), Bien Unido, Trinidad, Talibon, Getafe, Buenavista and Inabanga.
