2 Cebuano clergy get Vatican appointments

By J.Lo

“Both Msgr. Limchua and Fr. Cartagena are  third and fourth Cebuano priests, respectively, to enter  Diplomatic Service of the Holy See,” official Facebook page of Archdiocese of Cebu said Pope Francis has appointed two priests from Cebu to positions in Vatican.

Pontiff  appointed Monsignor Jan Thomas Limchua as counselor of  Apostolic Nunciature to tNetherlands and Fr. Hezron Jhud Cartagena as attaché of  Apostolic Nunciature to Ivory Coast.

Archdiocese’s spokesmaon Msgr. Joseph Tan believed  pope’s decision to appoint Filipino priests to  Vatican shows his immense trust in their capability to perform responsibly as missionaries abroad.

Limchua had reportedly served as official of the Holy See’s Section for Relations with States and International Organizations of the Secretariat of State for four years.

He was ordained as priest of  Archdiocese of Cebu in 2010 and underwent diplomatic formation at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy,  diplomatic school of  Vatican.

He then began his career in the diplomatic service in September 2014, and served at  Apostolic Nunciature of Benin and Togo in West Africa and in Egypt.

He completed his theological studies at  Faculty of Theology of  University of Navarra in Pamplona Spain, while he took up his doctorate in Canon Law at  Pontifical Lateran University in Rome.

Cartagena meanwhile completed his missionary year in Brazil and, with  new assignment, is now officially  part of  diplomatic service of  Holy See.
