“Last week was kind of a whirlwind, but it was a great opportunity to get acclimated in a very quick way. This week has been about listening, meeting the chancery staff and having some of our first meetings, seeing what people do and hearing what their hopes and concerns are.” – Coadjutor Archbishop Michael J. Byrnes
Coadjutor Archbishop Michael J. Byrnes said his first 10 days in office have been a whirlwind, consisting mostly of meetings with different religious groups, organizations, councils and clergymen.
The coadjutor archbishop arrived on Guam on Nov. 26 and met with members of the press yesterday to recount his first 10 days on island, and also gave updates on various church responsibilities.
“Last week was kind of a whirlwind, but it was a great opportunity to get acclimated in a very quick way,” Byrnes said. “This week has been about listening, meeting the chancery staff and having some of our first meetings, seeing what people do and hearing what their hopes and concerns are.”
While Byrnes said that he’s met with a few of the local archdiocesan councils – including the finance council, legal councils and a few priests – the coadjutor archbishop had little to update on, stating that his meetings mostly entertained brief introductions and general overviews of diocesan issues.
