UPDATE ON PRINCIPAL FOR FATHER DUENAS HIGH SCHOOL, GUAM
According to some members of an alumni group concerned about the selection of a new principal for Father Duenas High School, the proposal of Fr. Eric Forbes, O.F.M. as principal was passed over due to the Archbishop's preference that the school be administered by a religious order.
Apparently one of the religious orders currently considering
taking over the administration of "FD" is a Dominican order from the Philippines .
However, one of the main reasons Father
Duenas High
School was reportedly established was to help build a base for
the recruitment of young men to the priesthood for the needs of the island of Guam
In response to the Archbishop's expressed desire that the
school be administered by a religious order, one alumni member has reported
that Fr. Joseph English, O.F.M, the Vice-Provincial of Vice-Province of Star of
the Sea for Guam and Hawaii Capuchins, has approached the Archbishop with an
offer for the Capuchins to take over the administration of the school.
Currently, Fr. Jeff San Nicolas has been appointed Principal in the interim.
As of July 30, 2012,
there is no further news. Be sure to check back.

20th anniversary of his ordination

Archdiocese of Guam Remains Opposed to Obamacare Because Mandate Still Funds Contraception
Reposted from the Pacific News Center
Guam- The Catholic Church is against a mandate in Obamacare that automatically funds contraceptive and sterilization services through health care premiums.
The church is concerned that come August 1, all catholic institutions not covered by a religious exemption will be required to include these services in its employee health care coverage. Father Frances Walsh explains the church is concerned because this Obamacare mandate blurs the line between church and state.
“What the Catholic Church is concerned about is the fact that the Obama administration is attempting to collapse the distinction between state and society” said Walsh. “It is claiming total potentiality that it has a right to control all of the institutions in the society that puts limits on the state.”
He added, “Contraception separates sex from procreation and in doing that, it distorts the whole meaning of human sexuality. The other issue is sterilization. Sterilization is another form of contraception.”
The Catholic Church on Guam must find out how Obamacare affects local insurance providers and if it will drop insurance coverage to stay within its beliefs.
