Yesterday the Archdiocese of Agana issued a response to information shared by former members of the Archdiocesan Finance Council (AFC) on Wednesday regarding the property of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary (RMS) in Yona.
The archdiocese stated in a press release, “Main points conveyed by the former Finance Council members in a news conference on Aug. 31 corroborate the position expressed by the archdiocese in an announcement on Aug. 18 by Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai.”
The archdiocese still insists that the community that enjoys the benefits of “perpetual use” of the RMS property should renounce such benefits granted through a deed restriction.
During a press conference on Wednesday, two members of the AFC, which was dissolved by Archbishop Anthony Apuron in January 2012, met with local media to clarify claims made against them.
Richard Untalan, former member of the council and president of CU Holdings, and Joe Rivera, former AFC member and current chief financial officer of Calvo Enterprises, presented a statement signed by other AFC members including Monsignor James Benavente, Deacon Stephen Martinez and Sister Mary Torres.
