The Archdiocese of Agana will be holding monthly briefings to update the community on various initiatives the church is taking.
Guam – Since the Archdiocese of Agana’s implementation of the Task Force for the Protection of Minors, some individuals have come forward to report abuse within the catholic community.
Today, Coadjutor Archbishop Michael Byrnes and the task force gave an update on the curriculum so far. They’ve made significant progress in implementing a sexual abuse curriculum within the catholic schools and parishes. Several members provided updates to the public on that progress.
So far, all 14 catholic schools have received the training. Now, the focus will be within the different parishes. But since the this task force was created, we asked Byrnes if the archdiocese has received any reports of sexual abuse from any of the students or minors they’re entrusted to protect.
