Members of the Concerned Catholics of Guam (CCOG) and the Laity Forward Movement (LFM) staged a wave protest at the ITC Intersection in Tamuning on Friday, July 22, reiterating their call for a more responsive apostolic administration and the defrocking of Archbishop Anthony Apuron.
The new protest action, according to Lou Klitzkie of LFM, was prompted by a new memo issued by the Archdiocese of Agana, involving the Archdiocese Annual Appeal (AAA).
The memo, signed by the Apostolic Administrator Savio Hon Tai Fai and addressed to “all pastors, rectors and parochial administrators,” indicated that the AAA failed to meet its collection target of $250,000 for 2016.
According to the memo, the AAA collection for this year hit only $85,552.44, falling far below the goal.
Fai asked that the memo be read during Mass to encourage generous tithing.
