The Archdiocese of Agana is opening a new chapter in its history and invites everyone to two islandwide celebrations Wednesday, Nov. 30, related to Archbishop Michael J. Byrnes, our new coadjutor archbishop.

Everyone is invited to a Prayer for the Beginning of the Episcopal Ministry of Coadjutor Archbishop Byrnes to take place 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica.

Then, all are invited to the start of the Novena of Masses honoring Santa Marian Kamalen at 6 p.m. that same evening, also at the Cathedral-Basilica. Archbishop Byrnes will celebrate his first islandwide Mass here with Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai, SDB, visiting bishops and Guam priests.

The celebrations will culminate with the islandwide commemoration of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on Dec. 8, which includes the celebration of Santa Marian Kamalen and the close of the Golden Jubilee of the Archdiocese.
