Patrick Daniel Yee Parcon
Patrick Daniel Yee Parcon was born on November 24, 1962, in Vallehermoso, Negros Oriental. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Silliman University, studied philosophy at St. Joseph Seminary in Dumaguete and theology at St. Joseph Regional Seminary in Iloilo, and earned a master's degree in Religion and Religious Education, specializing in Christian Spirituality, from San Rita College in San Carlos City and Fordham University in New York. He was ordained a priest in April 1994; three sources give three different days, the Claretian directory April 20, the San Carlos diocese page April 29, and Wikipedia April 24 by Bishop Nicolas Mondejar, so no day or ordaining bishop is stated here.
His early ministry included spiritual director and dean of studies at St. John Mary Vianney Seminary in San Carlos, parish administration in West Virginia, Texas, and New York, seminary rector in 2007, and director of the Marriage and Family Life Apostolate in 2007. He served as diocesan administrator of San Carlos as a priest from 2011 to 2013, was Vicar General and rector of San Carlos Borromeo Cathedral in 2014, and coordinated the diocese's relief operations after the 6.9-magnitude earthquake of 2012. On June 3, 2014, he was appointed Bishop of Talibon, succeeding the retiring Christian Vicente Noel; he was consecrated on August 22, 2014, in San Carlos City, with Archbishop Jose Palma as principal consecrator and Gerardo Alminaza and Jose Advincula as co-consecrators according to Wikipedia, and installed on August 26, 2014, at the Most Holy Trinity Cathedral in Talibon, by Nuncio Giuseppe Pinto. He is the second Bishop of Talibon.
In the Traditionis custodes window his notable diocesan act is a reform of sacramental practice rather than a liturgical one: in 2021, after months of consultation with clergy and lay leaders, Talibon abolished all fees for baptisms, funerals, weddings, and Mass intentions, breaking with the long-standing arancel practice, and standardized priestly allowances so that mission and mercy, not money, would guide pastoral life.
