The Diocese of Naval is among the newest dioceses in the Philippines today. It was created on November 29, 1988, sliced off the mother diocese of Palo in the province of Leyte. It comprises the entire island of Biliran and four municipalities at the northwestern tip of the island of Leyte. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Palo.
The island of Biliran is a sub-province of Leyte, situated off its northwestern coast, bounded on the north and northeast by the Samar Sea, on the west by the Visayan Sea, and on the south by Casiguran Bay. The island is characterized by rolling hills, and its town-parishes along the shorelines are forever bathed by the sapphire-blue waters of the surrounding seas.
In historical significance, the sub-province of Biliran shares much with the island province of Leyte and Samar: the landing of the first Spanish expedition of Magellan in 1521; the early Christianization by the Augustinians and the Franciscans; and the landing of General Douglas MacArthur to fulfill his pledge to return to the Philippines.
Some of the parishes in Leyte, including those of Biliran, were founded almost two centuries ago. That of the town of Leyte was established in 1800, Biliran in 1828, Naval itself in 1843. These were all taken over by the diocesan clergy when the Spanish priests had to leave the country during the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
Ecclesiastically, Leyte was originally under the jurisdiction of Cebu until 1910. From 1910 to 1937 it fell under the jurisdiction of the diocese of Calbayog (Samar). In 1937 Leyte was separated into the new Diocese of Palo. And in 1988, Naval was separated from the now Archdiocese of Palo, whose population had grown to over a million and a half.
Today the Diocese of Naval covers a land area of 1,170 square kilometers, with a population of 218,708 of which 92 per cent are Catholics. It consists of 3 vicariates, 13 parishes manned by 24 priests and 1 deacon under 1 bishop.
The programs and services implemented in the parishes of the diocese are in continuance of those of the Archdiocese of Palo. These programs are geared toward the formation of Basic Ecclesial Communities, with the decrees and statutes of the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines as implementing guidelines.
The BEC's today number 13, one for each parish. The diocese also has 9 religious sisters working in the area. Among its 3 Catholic institutions is the Cathedral School of La Naval and a diocesan high school.

Naval Cathedral - Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, by sjmv on Sept 17, 2014 14:41:54 GMT 8, Priest excommunicated for breaking confession seal
Updated October 19, 2007 - 12:00am
0 0googleplus0 0A Catholic priest has been excommunicated for failing to keep secret sins confessed to him by a member of his flock, the Archdiocese of Manila revealed yesterday.
Reverend Father Alejandre Galias of the diocese of Sorsogon was excommunicated on Sept. 21 by Bishop Arturo Bastes and permanently barred from administering any sacrament and from holding positions within the church following a formal inquiry into a complaint accusing the priest of violating the seal of confession.
Bastes said he declared Galias’ automatic excommunication after he received a complaint from a faithful who confessed to the priest.
The bishop ordered an investigation and found that Galias really violated the rule.
“You cannot become a priest without knowing that law. What he did was a serious breach of confidence. They know this is a serious law of the Church that must be followed. As his bishop, I should implement this law and also warn other priests,” Bastes said in an interview over Church-run Radyo Veritas.
Under church law, a priest who hears confession is bound to keep absolute secrecy regarding the sins that his penitents have confessed to him.
Lingayen Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz explained excommunication means a person is separated from the life of the Church.
“You are not a member anymore of the flow of prayer because in the Holy Mass, you’ll see you pray for everybody. When we pray the liturgy we pray for everybody. Now if one is excommunicated that means he is not made a participant of that global prayer that goes from morning until night,” Cruz told reporters in an interview.
“It is the bishop himself who will say I excommunicate you because of this or that misbehavior. But the law says also if this or that misbehavior is done you are automatically excommunicated and the bishop will just declare the excommunication,” he explained.
Only an order from Pope Benedict XVI can reinstate the clergyman to his priestly duties, noted Cruz, a local canon law expert.
“It requires the Holy Father through the penitentiary to lift an excommunication. It’s quite serious,” Cruz said.
Galias is the third Filipino priest excommunicated by the Catholic Church. Church officials said there were other faithful who were also excommunicated and most of them were involved in abortion. – Edu Punay, AP
