While the island welcomes Archbishop Byrnes, apostolic administrator Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai will return to Rome. The Vatican assigned Archbishop Hon to Guam back in June as a temporary leader for the archdiocese amid allegations of molestation made against Archbishop Anthony Apuron.

Hon told KUAM News, “I like the words and also the deeds of Archbishop Byrnes – he used the term ‘bridge’. Bridge means to cultivate more communion and more communication. So this my wish also to the people here.”

Hon credits the local clergy, the religious and the lay faithful for all he was able to accomplish these last few months.
