MANILA - Kalookan Bishop Pablo Virgilio Cardinal David is set to offer a thanksgiving Holy Mass upon his return to the Philippines.

This will be the bishop’s first public Mass after his elevation to the Sacred College of Cardinals.

The Holy Mass will be held at San Roque Cathedral in Caloocan City on Saturday, December 14 at 9 a.m.

The cardinal is set to arrive in the Philippines on Friday.

“Let us come together as one community and offer our prayers for our bishop who has been elevated to the rank of cardinal,” the Diocese of Kalookan said in a statement. 

The 65-year-old prelate is the country’s 10th cardinal. Among the Filipino cardinals, he is the third who has a right vote in a possible conclave to elect a pope, after Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, pro-prefect for the Dicastery for Evangelization, and Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincula. 

A native of Pampanga, the cardinal is a known bible scholar and a champion of human rights. 

He has been president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) since 2021. 

David was created a cardinal by Pope Francis last December 7 in a public consistory at Saint Peter’s Basilica.
