    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.

            His Holiness, Pope Francis, emphasized the realization that Social Media is a gift. In the Archdiocese of Palo, as you want to strengthen how you can be more in touch with people not only in your Archdiocese but all over the world; social media is a gift and a tool. Utilize it well in your apostolate and use it as a channel of evangelization to proclaim the gospel.
