The Roman Catholic Diocese of Prosperidad is a diocese of the Latin Church of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines.
During a preliminary assembly on July 9, 2023, in Kalibo, Aklan, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines voted in favor of the proposal of Bishop Cosme Almedilla of Butuan for the separation from Butuan of a new diocese that will cover the province of Agusan del Sur, which is considered a “missionary frontier” with a third of its population being indigenous peoples.[2]
The new diocese was carved out of the Diocese of Butuan on October 15, 2024, becoming the Philippines' 87th diocese. Ruben Labajo, an auxiliary bishop from the Archdiocese of Cebu, was appointed by Pope Francis to be its first bishop.[3] [4] The rite of canonical possession-installation will solemnly be held at Saint Michael the Archangel Cathedral in Prosperidad on 28 January 2025.[5]
