BACOLOD CITY – The Diocese of Bacolod has issued a warning about an individual claiming to be a missionary priest of the Chaplaincy of the Holy Trinity in Bago City, Negros Occidental.
In an advisory released Thursday, the Diocese identified the individual as “Rev. Fr. Mario D. Divina,” clarifying that he is not a priest of the Roman Catholic Church and has no affiliation with the Diocese of Bacolod.
