Archbishop Michael Byrnes has imposed sanctions on Father Adrian Cristobal Saturday after the former chancellor’s failure to report to the archdiocese by Friday.

“This action is taken as a result of the diocesan priest’s failure to obey repeated directives to return to Guam, following allegations of sexual abuse filed against him last April and May,” the Archdiocese of Agana announced.

The sanctions further restrict Cristobal’s abilities to act as a priest in public, which includes the wearing of clerical garb, the archdiocese stated.
