It was for Our Lord’s Church and for his visible representative on earth that ST. FRANCIS XAVIER, the Patron of the Diocese of Kabankalan, incessantly worked and offered his life as a Jesuit missionary.

The cross and the hand holding it belongs to this dauntless Saint, who journeyed throughout Asia and the Pacific to set the torch of Faith, Hope and Charity ablaze in the hearts and in the lives of people he converted to Christianity.

The clear skies, the mountains ranges and the sugarcane depict the typical milieu in the Diocese of Kabankalan.

The stalks of sugarcane, which remain the chief produce of Negros Island, depict the aim of the Diocese to be in solidarity with its people.

It covers 11 cities and municipalities of the province occupying a total land area of 3,923.7 square kilometers (1,514.9 sq mi) and, as of 2011, a population of 769,393 of which 80 per cent are Catholics.
