New Manila Cathedral rector installed today
MANILA, Philippines — Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincula will install at noon today the new rector of the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, more popularly known as the Manila Cathedral, in Intramuros, Manila.
“We are glad to announce the installation of Msgr. Rolando de la Cruz as the new rector,” the Manila Cathedral said in a social media post yesterday.
De la Cruz, 64, was ordained priest by then Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin at the same church on Oct. 5, 1985.
Advincula appointed De la Cruz in November 2022 to replace Fr. Regie Malicdem, who served as head of the cathedral from July 2015 to October last year.
De la Cruz served as parish priest of the San Fernando de Dilao Parish in Paco, Manila for 12 years.
He also served as school director of the San Gabriel Academy, San Roque Catholic School, San Jose Academy, Pateros Catholic School, St. Anthony School and Paco Catholic School.
