    PROFESSION OF FAITH AND OATH OF FIDELITY

    I, SILVINO A. SUAREZ, with firm faith believe and profess each and everything
    that is contained in the Symbol of faith, namely:

    I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all
    things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only
    Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light
    from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with
    the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation
    he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin
    Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he
    suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance
    with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of
    the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his
    kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of
    life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the
    Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in
    one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the
    forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the
    life of the world to come. Amen.

    With firm faith, I also believe everything contained in the word of God,
    whether written or handed down in Tradition, which the Church, either by a
    solemn judgment or by the ordinary and universal Magisterium, sets forth to
    be believed as divinely revealed. I also firmly accept and hold each and
    everything definitively proposed by the Church regarding teaching on faith and
    morals. Moreover, I adhere with religious submission of will and intellect to
    the teachings which either the Roman Pontiff or the College of Bishops
    enunciate when they exercise their authentic Magisterium, even if they do not
    intend to proclaim these teachings by a definitive act.
    I, SILVINO A. SUAREZ, in assuming the office of BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF
    NOVALICHES, promise that in my words and in my actions I shall always
    preserve communion with the Catholic Church. With great care and fidelity I
    shall carry out the duties incumbent on me toward the Church, both universal
    and particular, in which, according to the provisions of the law, I have been
    called to exercise my service. In fulfilling the charge entrusted to me in the
    name of the Church, I shall hold fast to the deposit of faith in its entirety; I
    shall faithfully hand it on and explain it, and I shall avoid any teachings
    contrary to it. I shall follow and foster the common discipline of the entire
    Church and I shall maintain the observance of all ecclesiastical laws, especially
    those contained in the Code of Canon Law. With Christian obedience I shall
    follow what the Bishops, as authentic doctors and teachers of the faith,
    declare, or what they, as those who govern the Church, establish. I shall also
    faithfully assist the diocesan Bishops, so that the apostolic activity, exercised
    in the name and by mandate of the Church, may be carried out in communion
    with the Church.

    So help me God, and God’s Holy Gospels on which I place my hand.
