    FROM

    DIOCESE

    TO

    ARCHDIOCESE

    OF

    SAN

    FERNANDO

    By Arwin Paul Lingat


    The diocese of San Fernando, Pampanga was created on December 11, 1948, through the
    Apostolic

    Constitution

    Probe

    Noscitur;

    it

    comprised

    the

    provinces

    of Pampanga, Bataan,Zambales, a part of Tarlac, and Nueva Ecija. It was initially a a


    suffragan of the Archdiocese of Manila. The first bishop was the Most Rev. Cecar Ma.
    Guerrero, DD, a native of Ermita, Manila, as first bishop; he received his appointment
    from the Vatican on May 29, 1949 and was installed on September 8 of the same year. The
    parish of Our Lady of the Assumption, in the provincial capital town of San Fernando, was
    selected as the seat of the new diocese; the parish church was thus elevated into a cathedral
    and was renamed Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption.

    Bishop

    Guerrero

    established

    the Mater

    Boni

    Consilii (now

    Mother

    of

    Good

    Counsel) Seminary in 1950 (it was originally in Guagua, then Apalit, before being relocated
    to its present site in San Fernando): the Cruzada de Caridad y Penitencia (or devotion to
    the Virgen delos Remedios ) in 1952, which continues to this day; and Carmelite
    Monastery in Angeles in 1956, where he retired following his resignation on March 14,
    1957 due to poor health. He died March 27, 1961 and was buried beside the monastery
    chapel, according to his wishes.

    Eventually the diocese was dismembered when provincial boundaries became more
    pronounced. Zambales was established as a prelature on October 18, 1955, Nueva Ecija as
    a diocese on February 16, 1963, Tarlac as a diocese on May 10, 1963, and Bataan as a
    diocese on March 17, 1975.

    The Most Rev. Emilio A. Cinense, DD, a native of Guimba, Nueva Ecija, became the second
    bishop of San Fernando on March 15, 1957. It was during this term that the Diocese of San
    Fernando was elevated into a Metropolitan See and Archdiocese; the canonical erection

    was held on June 15, 1975. The new archdiocese comprised the whole province of
    Pampanga with three suffragan dioceses, namely, the Diocese of Tarlac, the Diocese of Iba
    (Zambales) and the Diocese of Balanga (Bataan).

    After the death of Archbishop Cinense, the Most Rev. Oscar C. Cruz, DD, the native of
    Balanga, Bataan and at the time rector of San Carlos Seminary, was appointed second
    Archbishop of San Fernando on May 22, 1978; he resigned on October 24, 1988. On
    January 31, 1989, the Most Rev. Paciano B. Aniceto of Sta. Ana, Pampanga former rector
    of the Mother of Good Counsel Seminary and Bishop of Iba, was appointed third (and first
    Pampanga-born) Archbishop of San Fernando; he was formally installed on March 14,
    1989.

    On the occasion of the Golden Jubilee anniversary of its creation as a diocese on December
    11, 1998, the Archdiocese of San Fernandos Cathedral of the Asumption was consecrated
    and rededicated as The Metropolitan Cathedral of San Fernando, during ceremonies
    presided over by the papal nuncio, the Most Rev. Antonio Franco, DD
