The Vatican’s newly appointed apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Agana, Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai has announced his priorities as he temporarily takes over administration of the Archdiocese of Agana.

In a news release issued by the archdiocese yesterday, Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai said his priority is to take stock of the present pastoral situation of the diocese and to identify the difficulties present among the clergy, religious and lay faithful.

Savio also said he will take “urgent” measures, at the earliest, in order to promote and restore unity and harmony in the local Catholic Church.

“The Apostolic administrator, after carefully discerning the needs of the archdiocese will take all necessary decisions to assure that this goal is being implemented,” he said.

He also confirmed his appointment stating that the pope, in his concern for the good of the whole church and with due consideration for the good of the faithful in Guam, has temporarily entrusted him with the administration of the Archdiocese of Agana.
