Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai’s decision to reassign priests to new positions within the villages and within the Archdiocese of Agana leadership doesn’t sit well with at least one priest.
Father Adrian Cristobal, who was reassigned as pastor of San Dionisio Church in Umatac after years of being pastor of San Vicente Ferrer Catholic Church in Barrigada, wrote an Oct. 4 letter to parishioners, stating Hon’s announcement came as a shock and surprise to him.
“Canon law grants to pastors the right to due process with regards to their transfer or removal from office. Archbishop Hon did not afford me the right to due process. Therefore, I am in communication with him and have respectfully requested that this matter be resolved in a conciliatory and judicious manner,” Cristobal said.
