The donations were to be used to assist in the litigation of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary dispute.
Guam – The Concerned Catholics of Guam has announced that it will give its donors a refund of their donations.
In a release, CCOG said that it no longer needs the money donated to them for the purpose of litigating the return of the Redemptoris Mater Seminary. The grassroots catholic organization received over $52,000 in donations from over 300 donors to cover legal expenses in “researching the clandestine transaction and determining the legal options CCOG had to secure the return of the property.”
Of that amount, less than $40,000 was spent. The savings was realized when Coadjutor Archbishop Michael Byrnes stepped in and abolished the RMS boards, amended the articles of incorporation and got rid of a controversial deed restriction that gave the property away.
