Three former Guam seminarians, including two from the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Yona, have been sent to St. Patrick’s Seminary in California.
A committee of Catholic priests said last year the Yona seminary — which is run by the Neocatechumenal Way — may need to be closed for the good of the Archdiocese of Agana unless the seminary can clarify its purpose, seek formal accreditation to ensure the quality of its priest formation program, and ensure its financial independence.
Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes decided to send the three seminarians to St. Patrick’s Seminary, which for decades has had strong ties with the Archdiocese of Agana, the archdiocese said in a statement Thursday afternoon.
