Guam's interim Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai will be leaving the Archdiocese of Agana temporarily. According to the latest issue of Umatuna Si Yu'os, Hon says the local church will be under the watch of the delegate of the administrator, Father Jeff San Nicolas.

Father Jeff will be assisted by the chancellor, Father Lito Abad. His scheduled absence is a result of pastoral visits abroad. These commitments were made months prior as part of his duties as secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of the Peoples. Hon was just in Saipan over the weekend for the ordination of Bishop-Elect Ryan Jimenez.

Hon's travel is scheduled for August 17 through 25.
