The second Synod of the Diocese of Calbayog will commence today. The event opens at 8:00 a.m. at the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral with a Eucharistic Celebration to be presided over by Bishop Isabelo Abarquez.
After the Mass, some 140 delegates from all parishes of the diocese will proceed to the St. Vincent De Paul Seminary in Barangay Dagum. They will stay there until Saturday, April 18, 2009. The delegates are expected to deliberate on policies of various concerns to the diocese.
The synod is expected to come up with a book or set of documents or policies which will be implemented all over the Diocese of Calbayog a month after its 100th Anniversary Celebration on April 10, 2010.
This year's Diocesan synod would have been the third. The second synod supposedly took place during the term of Bishop Sofronio Hacbang y Gaborni, the second bishop of Calbayog (1923- 1937). But in the absence of official documents, said synod remains in question.
The first Calbayog Diocesan Synod happened sometime in 1912.
