Below is a review of the Wadeson file.
11/15/2002 – Fr. John Wadeson, formerly a priest of the religious order Society of the Divine Word (Societas Verbi Divini – S.V.D.), otherwise known as Missionaries of the Divine Word, after being granted an indult of voluntary exclaustration (release from his order) is incardinated as a diocesan priest in the Archdiocese of Agana by Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron.
02/17/2004 – Fr. Wadeson’s name appears on a report by the Archdiocese of Agana which is published in the Los Angeles Times. The report notes that Fr.
