A group that has been pushing for Archbishop Anthony S. Apuron’s removal said it’s ready to file a lawsuit between now and Nov. 21 to ensure the Archdiocese of Agana doesn’t lose ownership and control of a $40 million to $75 million Yona property.
David Sablan, president of the Concerned Catholics of Guam, said the five-year statute of limitation expires on Nov. 21, unless the property ownership and control is challenged in court by then.
That’s five years since the declaration of deed restriction on the Yona property, given by Apuron to the Redemptoris Mater Seminary without restriction, was recorded with the Department of Land Management on Nov. 22, 2011, Sablan said.
“The archdiocese is working diligently on the matter of the seminary property,” the Archdiocese of Agana said in a statement. “We will comment in due time.”
Sablan said Concerned Catholics understands Archbishop Savio Hon Tai Fai is giving the community that controls the Redemptoris Mater Seminary and a theological institute an opportunity to return ownership and control without resorting to a lawsuit. Hon said on Tuesday the archdiocese is addressing the issue.
