With hearts full of joy, we announce to you all that on SEPTEMBER 30, 2025, TUESDAY, at 9:00 AM, His Excellency, Most Reverend Alberto Sy Uy will be canonically installed as the 25th Bishop and the 5th Metropolitan Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cebu.
Since its establishment as a diocese in 1595, Cebu has been led by 25 bishops. When it was elevated to a Metropolitan Archdiocese in 1934, a new line of archbishops began. Archbishop Uy now becomes the fifth to hold this title, following in the footsteps of Archbishops Gabriel Reyes, Julio Cardinal Rosales, Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, and Jose Palma.
Let us unite in prayer and thanksgiving as we welcome our new shepherd on this special day, and celebrate this historic moment for our local Church!
Further details about the installation, thanksgiving celebration for outgoing Archbishop Jose S. Palma, and other activities lined up for this historic event will be posted as soon as they become available.
