The Custody of Star of the Sea, encompassing Guam and Hawaii, was changed into a provincial delegation by a decree of General Minister Fr. Roberto Genuin. This puts the mission territory under the direct jurisdiction of the Province. Accordingly, Fr. Robert Abbatiello, the provincial minister, appointed a delegate and two councilors to oversee the mission. They are Fr. Eric Forbes, delegate; Br. Jason Chargualaf, first councilor; and Fr. Felixberto Leon-Guerrero, second councilor. “We thank these brothers for their willingness to serve at this time in the newly formed delegation, and we look forward to a stronger fraternal relationship with the brothers serving in Guam and Hawaii,” said Father Robert. “Let us remember each other in prayer, and, as always, let us pray for an increase in vocations to our Capuchin Franciscan way of life.”
