Welcome to the Archdiocese of Palo

The COAT Explained / VISION•MISSION

Super typhoon Yolanda (Int’l: Haiyan) that battered the Archdiocese of Palo in November 2013 brought to the Archdiocese the devotion to Our Lady of Hope of Palo. The image is a depiction of the Boy-Jesus with Mary His Mother reaching out to the survivors. It depicts the faith of the people, a faith that remained firm in spite of the devastation. Devotion to Our Lady of Hope is propagated in the Archdiocese of Palo. The Prayer to Our Lady with Jesus our Savior is an assurance of God’s presence in both good and challenging times.

More than four-hundred (400) years since the formal evangelization of the Island of Leyte; the Archdiocese of Palo has grown to be one of the largest administrative diocese of the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Francis visited the Archdiocese of Palo on January 2015. It was after the devastation of Supertyphoon Haiyan (locally known YOLANDA) - the strongest typhoon ever recorded to make landfall.
