Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes has made further changes in the Archdiocese of Agana, including naming Father Jeffrey C. San Nicolas as interim administrator of the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica in Hagåtña, effective noon April 16.

Father Paul A.M. Gofigan, the current rector of the Cathedral-Basilica, has been assigned as parochial vicar of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Yigo, effective April 16.

Gofigan will be taking over the Yigo church’s leadership, which was previously assigned to Father Julio Cesar Sanchez Malagon, one of three priests associated with the Redemptoris Mater Seminary, or the Neocatechumenal Way, who were reassigned in January this year.

Byrnes also assigned Father Edwin Bushu as chaplain of the Chaplaincy Team of Guam Memorial Hospital, Guam Regional Medical City, Department of Corrections, and Department of Youth Affairs. The appointment also takes effect on April 16.
