The Centennial Thanksgiving Mass was the highlight of the Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Calbayog as a Diocese. The Eucharistic Celebration was presided over by the Papal Nuncio in the Philippines, Archbishop Joseph Edward Adams.
Here's the first set of pictures that I would like to share with you.
