The Archdiocese of Agana announced new members of the Catholic Cemeteries board after removing their predecessors on Friday.
The new members are:
– Joseph T. Duenas (appointed as Interim Administrator, replaces Fr. Jose Alberto Rodriguez-Salamaca who was relieved of his duties)
– Wayne Santos (incumbent member. He was not terminated but instead resigned) He is Vice President and Marketing Manager of Bank of Guam
– Daniel J. Tydingco: Executive Vice President of Legal, Regulatory and External Affairs TeleGuam Holdings, LLC, dba GTA
– Gregory D. Perez: Project Manager Pacific Unlimited Inc.
– John A. Cruz: Hagatna Mayor
– Gerald A. Taitano: Director of Personnel Naval Facilities Marianas
The Archdiocese made it known that it would be removing the previous Catholic Cemeteries board because of a complaint it filed on September 30th with the police department and Attorney General’s office alleging misuse of cemetery funds for Monsignor James Benavente’s 20th year anniversary dinner held in 2014. We should note a week after that celebration; Archbishop Apuron suddenly removed Monsignor James as Rector of the Cathedral and Director of Catholic Cemeteries for alleged financial mismanagement.
