    The Diocese of San Carlos had just celebrated their 25th Jubilee celebration last February 7 to 9, 2013. It was participated by Archbishops, Bishops, Priests, Religious guests and the San Carlos Community with their theme : “People of Hope, One in Faith, Serving in Love”
    The Diocese of San Carlos occupies a territory on the northeastern part of Negros Island from Manapla down to La Libertad comprising 11 localities of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental including the City of San Carlos which is the holy see of the diocese.
    The Diocese of San Carlos was founded on March 30, 1987 along with the Diocese of Kabankalan. These two ecclesiastical territories were separated from the jurisdictions of Bacolod and Dumaguete. All four dioceses on Negros Island are now suffragans of the Archdiocese of Jaro.
Tabo-tabo
    After the holy Mass last February 7 was the cutting of ribbon and the blessing of booths located at the spacious lot beside the San Carlos Borromeo Church. At 9:30 in the morning , the tabo-tabo (booth) from different places in Negros officially opened to raise funds and for promotion of their products.
    The booths consist  of Vicariates from Cadiz, Sagay, Toboso, Guihulngan, Canlaon, San Carlos, and St. John Mary Vianney Seminary. There is also a stall for first aid and for Social Action Center.
    There was a variety of displays of shell decors, dried fish, jams, fruits, vegetables, T-shirts with customized character prints, rosaries, religious books, paintings, herbal medicines and other local products  from different municipalities.
    The rescue team and the PNP stayed in watch of all happenings  in our church’s  celebration to ensure an immediate response for any emergency situations.
Musical event
    The Kruz Band is a pious pop group from Sagay performs musical shows every evening during the course of the celebration with an entrance fee of P 5.00. Students from different schools, friends and families visit the church every evening to witness the church’s fiesta.
    On February 8, the Basic Ecclesial Communities gathered for a congress.
    The visitors and delegates were welcomed last February 9 and was followed by a Holy Mass. The overall event coordinator was Father Patrick Daniel Y. Parcon.
Testimony
    “We can see that these catholic programs help in molding our children to become better individuals and how to tow away from drugs and vices. These activities even open doors for us to meet new people and have a stronger relationship with God!” said Zegric Laguda, a member of the youth.
