The Episcopal Ordination and Installation of Bp. Timoner in Pagadian, Zamboanga del Sur

            On August 13, 2025, the Diocese of Pagadian joyfully celebrated the episcopal ordination and installation of its new bishop, the Most Rev. Ronald Anthony Timoner, formerly of the Diocese of Daet. The occasion was made even more special as it coincided with his 54th birthday. The night before, during the welcome dinner, the clergy of the diocese surprised him with songs and a birthday cake—a heartfelt gesture that set a tone of warmth and fraternity on the eve of his ordination.

The night before the episcopal ordination and installation of Bp. Ronald Anthony Timoner, a welcome dinner was held not only for the new bishop but for all the visitors who came from near and far. Here the priests of the Diocese of Pagadian after rendering a song presented to their new bishop a birthday cake. 

The program was complete with a folkloric dance presentation.
