Archdiocesan Offices

Our chancery includes those offices and persons who directly assist the archbishop in the pastoral and administrative governance of the Archdiocese of Agaña. The Chancery, on behalf of the archbishop, expedites canonical matters, processes prenuptial documents for marriages, collects and preserves diocesan and parish records, assists parishes and priests with civil matters, maintains files, collects statistical information, facilitates communications with other dioceses and the Vatican and directs inquirers to appropriate sources.

The Archdiocese of Agana chancery (also referred to as the archdiocesan curia) is organized into eight offices:

• Office of the Chancellor;
• Office of Finance;
• Office of Temporal Affairs;
• Office of Safe Environment;
• Office of Human Resources;
• Office of Communication;
• Office of Catholic Education; and
• Office of the Metropolitan Tribunal

Additionally, the Office of the Vicar General moderates the work of the archdiocesan curia and insures the priorities and directives of the archbishop are followed.
