Penino could not exercise in the pastoral care of the Mission Station by January 6, 2015 the Archbishop of Caceres appointed Rev. Fr. Bernard M. Lagatic under the Code of Canon Law Book II, Part II, Section II, Title III, Chapter VI, Can. 515 1 and 2 to continue and administer in the pastoral care of the Mission Station. Furthermore, Rev. Fr. Lagatic established and organized a new set of Religious Organizations that will benefit the Mission Station. He then implemented certain rules and activities that will enhance the faith and trust of the people to Our Church, from which the community involves themselves in the participation and actively opens their religious belief to the new Church.
