It was also announced a press conference today that Msgr. James Benavente will be the apostolic administrator for church patrimony.

Guam – Just a day after being cleared of wrongdoing, Msgr. James Benavente has now been appointed to take charge of church assets.

Meanwhile, Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai, the temporary administrator of the Archdiocese of Agana, is demanding that the Catholic Cemeteries board resign in light of the “baseless allegations” made against Msgr. James following his vindication last Friday.

Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai held a news conference today to make some major announcements. He was present and sat in the chairs behind the podium, but it was his delegate, Father Jeff San Nicolas, who made the statements.

“We have asked or are asking all board members of the catholic cemeteries who supported and voted for the resolution and for its release to the public to immediately resign,” San Nicolas read on behalf of Hon.
