Apostolic administrator Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai is anticipated to make his return to the island on Thursday. As we've been reporting, Guam's interim archbishop was appointed to Guam in June while Archbishop Anthony Apuron was placed on leave amid allegations of child sex abuse.

Earlier this month, Hon traveled to Rome where he reports he's been urging the Holy See to remove Apuron as the bishop of Guam and to appoint a successor. The trip follows a previous attempt to remove Apuron.

According to Hon, the Presbyteral Council wrote to Apuron asking him to step down. That letter was sent in July and was unsuccessful.
