A LETTER from the former Apostolic Delegate for the Pacific, Archbishop Charles Balvo, to Guam Archbishop Anthony Apuron dated March 7, 2012, requested that a financial report be turned in to him as is the requirement for every diocese.
Balvo wrote to Apuron that he had not received a financial statement from the Archdiocese of Agana since 2007 and up to the time he wrote the letter in 2012.
Further, Balvo pointed out that every diocese is required to have a finance council and that consent of the finance council is required for acts of “alienation.”
In 2012, former finance council member Richard Untalan wrote to Balvo with his concerns about an alienation or assignment of the Yona property upon which the Redemptoris Mater seminary is built. Untalan wrote that he and three other council members agreed that they were terminated by Apuron because they voted against transferring the title of that land, a vote which was not supported by Apuron.
