The former Accion Hotel, worth tens of millions of dollars before an anonymous donor donated it to the Archdiocese of Agana almost a decade ago, is no longer an asset of the local Catholic church, according to a Guam law firm retained recently by Concerned Catholics of Guam Inc.

The property’s title was “absolutely conveyed in fee simple” in November of 2011, to the nonprofit Redemptoris Mater Seminary, according to a May 2015 legal opinion written by the law offices of Jacques G. Bronze.

Neocatechumenal Way

A New Jersey-based division of the Neocatechumenal Way controls the seminary, through its nonprofit, said Greg Perez, president of Concerned Catholics, a grass-roots lay organization incorporated in December of 2014.

Concerned Catholics has been calling for accountability of the actions Guam’s Catholic leadership, and has opposed the Neocatechumenal Way movement.
