Venerabili fratri Regi Andreae Alarcon, hactenus Episcopo Daëtiensi nominato sacrorum Antistiti Cacerensi salutem et Benedictionem. Dei gregem Petri ex Cathedra custodientes eiusque necessitates attente considerantes fide perpulsi, spe corroborati atque caritate inflammati, omnibus et singulis Christi Evangelium nuntiamus, quia eius e mortuis resurrectio totum orbem terrarum vita replet.

Denique, te cohortamur, Venerabilis frater, ut facias certiores de Nostra voluntate tam clerum quam populum comunitatis archidiocensanae tibi commisae itidem, intercedentibus Beata Maria Virgine eiusque sancto Sponso Ioseph, studiose omnes vires ministerio evangelizationis, scilicet Verbi Dei predicationi in medio populi, impendas, ad quod Christus e die in diem te eligit, ut, eius virtute ac gratia sustentus, Evangelium confiteris ac praedices verbis tuis ac potissimum vitae exemplo. Datum Romae, Laterani, die vicesimo secundo mensis februarii, in festo Cathedrae Sancti Petri, apostoli, anno bismillesimo vicesimo quarto, Pontificatus Nostri undecimo.

ENGLISH
Francis, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God
To the venerable brother, Rex Andrew Alarcon, until now Bishop of Daet, named Bishop of Caceres, greetings and benediction. Taking care of God’s flock from the Chair of Peter, and carefully considering its needs, compelled by faith, strengthened by hope and inflamed by love, We proclaim the Gospel of Christ to each and every one, because his resurrection from the dead fills the whole earth with life. Moved by these thoughts, we seek suitable men to carry out, with Us, the mandate of evangelization more fervently, and to take care of the Church as a Bride with all their hearts. Since you, Venerable brother, have so far displayed skill in the discharge of episcopal duties and indeed with kindness and are capable of accomplishing what should be done, We deem it opportune to entrust you with a duty of greater importance. Therefore, acting by Our Apostolic authority and likewise by virtue of this Letter of Ours, released from the bonds of the see of Daet, We appoint you Metropolitan Archbishop of Caceres, with all the due rights given, as well as the corresponding obligations imposed, according to the canons of the Code of Canon Law. Finally, we exhort you, Venerable brother, to make the clergy, as well as the people of the archdiocesan community entrusted to you, more resolved regarding Our will, likewise through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and her holy Spouse Joseph, to diligently devote all energies to the ministry of evangelization, certainly to the preaching of the Word of God among the people, to which Christ chooses you day by day, so that, sustained by his power and grace, you may confess and preach the Gospel with your words and above all by the example of your life. Given at the Lateran, in Rome, on the twenty-second day of the month of February, on the feast of the Chair of Peter, the Apostle, in the year two thousand and twenty-four, on the eleventh year of Our Pontificate.
