The family and the entire Clergy of the Archdiocese of Palo are saddened by the sudden demise of one of its dedicated and good pastors, REV. FR. RAFAEL A. PEPITO (Fr. Lolot). We humbly ask for prayers that God may rest the soul of his priest in the bosom of the eternal Father in heaven where he now participates in the heavenly banquet.
