Josefino named new Cardinal of the Church

Pope Benedict XVI has named Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle and five other prelates from Lebanon, Nigeria, Colombia, India and the United States as new cardinals.

The Pope made the surprise announcement during his weekly general audience Wednesday and said they would be elevated at a consistory November 24. At 55, Tagle is currently the world’s youngest cardinal.

I am very proud to be Cardinal Tagle's student in Holy Orders last semester in the Loyola School of Theology as well as his fellow Josefino, a son of San Jose Seminary. Truly, the Philippine Church rejoices in this announcement, following the canonization of Saint Pedro Calungsod last Sunday.

In this year of faith, we strive to truly witness to the faith entrusted to us by Christ in our words and deeds. May it enflame our hearts to be instruments of love and service to God and His people.

HAIL SAN JOSE!
