The Diocesan Bishop needs the cooperation and collaboration of all faithful to fulfill his duties as Pastor of the entire people of God entrusted to his care in the Diocese of Digos. Councils in the Church are one such structure for dialogue, participation and co-responsibility between their pastors and the faithful for the good of the entire flock.

Pastoral circumstances in the Diocese of Digos which comprises the entire Province of Davao del Sur and within the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Digos call for the establishment of the councils of the laities.

Afable, D.D. had re-organized the Council and has been existing as implementing arm of the Diocese in its pastoral works up to this time.
