Monsignor James Benavente, previously stripped of his role as head of the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral-Basilica, has moved back to the sphere of influence in Guam’s Catholic Church leadership.
Benavente has been named member of the Presbyteral Council and College of Consultors, of the Archdiocese of Agana.
Each diocese has a presbyteral council, comprising a group of priests, which functions as the senate of the bishop and helps the bishop in the governance of the diocese, based on church laws, according to the Vatican website.
Archbishop Michael Byrnes made the announcement Sunday, and Benavente’s appointment went into effect the same day.
