The local Church of Libmanan turns twenty years old this December 9, 2009.  In January 12, 1989 a petition is sent by the Archbishop of Caceres, Most Rev. Leonardo Z. Legaspi, O.P., D.D., to the Holy See seeking the creation of the Prelature of Libmanan.  Pope John Paul II issued on December 9, 1989 the Bull "Philippinis in Insulis" creating the Prelature of Libmanan and appointing Rev. Msgr. Prospero N. Arellano as the first Bishio-Prelate.  He was installed on March 19, 1990 during the Canonical Erection of the Prelature.  The prelature was elevated into the rank of a diocese this year 2009 during the Solemnity of the Annunciation, March 25.  The Bishop, Most Rev. Jose R. Rojas Jr and the clergy with the 27 parishes' skk cluster leaders and members will be gathering at the Cathedral wholeday of December 9, 2009 to celebrate the meaningful two decades of journey as a pilgrim church on this part of the world.
