Circular 2020-5
RE: Code of Ethical Conduct
Reverend Fathers:
I am pleased to send you your personal copy of the Code of Ethical Conduct for the Clergy of Lingayen Dagupan TO BE HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS which we have discussed in workshop groups last year.
It has been printed in booklet form in the size that can fit our breviary. It is proposed that you keep this booklet inserted in your breviary and read one paragraph from the Code every day so that we can keep the commitment aglow and alive.
We all need to be reminded because we can forget. We all need renewal because we can all get weary. Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings. (1Pt5:8).
Sincerely yours,
+SOCRATES B. VILLEGAS
Archbishop of Lingayen Dagupan
