This morning Mr. Roland Paul Lizama Sondia, a resident of Guam presented to the public media accusations against the Archbishop of Agana, namely, that when he was an altar boy at Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish in Agat, he was molested by the then Father Anthony Sablan Apuron. The Archdiocese of Agana, taking into serious consideration the allegations presented to the public this morning, will take the necessary steps to present the matter to the Holy See, which has final authority in cases related to Bishops. In the mean time, I am earnestly praying for all those concerned in this matter, without prejudice to both the alleged victim and the accused and ask for the prayers and support of the entire Church community.

Most Rev. Savio Hon Tai Fai, SDB

Apostolic Administrator
