Following the formation of new ad hoc committees in the Archdiocese of Agana, Apostolic Administrator Savio Hon Tai Fai said they will be making planned canonical visits to the two major seminaries on the island and to parishes during the first part of July.

Hon, in a message released this week, said the ad hoc committees are working hard to fulfill their mandate of providing him with information and counsel for any further decisions he may need to make in the archdiocese.

He said the committees’ work is already bearing fruit with the planned canonical visits.

Last month, Hon announced the formation of four ad hoc committees that will oversee various matters within the church.

The committees are:

* Scenario of the archdiocese, which will report on the situation of the church;
* Ongoing formation, which will plan for the formation of the clergy;
* Proposal for repositioning of priests, which will suggest the repositioning of all clergy officials; and
* Seminary visitation, which will visit the major seminaries and assess their status.

Rev. Adrian Cristobal and Monsignor David Quitigua, the former chancellor and vicar general of the archdiocese, respectively, have been assigned to the committee of the scenario of the archdiocese.
