Early life Alejandro Aclan was born on February 9, 1951, in
Pasay City in the Philippines, the third of eight children born to Geronimo and Emerenciana Aclan. His father Geronimo served as a pilot in the
Philippine Army Air Corps during World War II and was considered a war hero in the
Philippines. While at St Madeleine, he also served as treasurer/council of priests from 2006 to 2010 and as regional vocations director for the San Gabriel Valley Pastoral Region from 2010 to 2012. On May 16, 2019, Aclan was consecrated as a bishop at
Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in Los Angeles by Archbishop
José Gómez, with Mahony and Auxiliary Bishop
Oscar A. Solis serving as co-consecrators. On August 20, 2022, Aclan suffered a
stroke and was hospitalized. By December, he had returned home to recover, with Auxiliary Bishop
Gerald Wilkerson appointed as interim episcopal vicar for San Fernando during Aclan's recovery. In July 2023, the archdiocese announced that Auxiliary Bishop
Albert Bahhuth would permanently replace Aclan as episcopal vicar as his recovery from the stroke continued. ==See also==
