Congratulations James Arriola

James Arriola

Born: 1988 Nov 17
Entered RMS Guam: 2008 Sept 28

All the seminarians and formators of RMS Guam together with Archbishop Anthony Sablan Apuron, were specially invited to participate at the “Merkabah” Vocational Convivence in Porto San Giorgio, Italy, Sept. 14-23, 2011. Kiko wanted to see the reality of the evangelization in Asia and since Guam is close to Asia he invited us.
During that Merkabah, a new RMS was formed for the Diocese of Miami. The Seminary was officially erected on Dec. 11, 2011.
James left Guam Dec. 30, 2011 to join the newly erected seminary Redemptoris Mater in Miami.

In the website of the Miami Diocese they have this brief biographical note on James:

    1. My understanding is that he is not a deacon any more. He celebrated his first mass on May 14. That means he is a priest.

    2. Dear Anonymous at 5:24 pm,

      That is correct. The information was taken from the Miami Archdiosesan website, which I cited in the OP.

    1. Dear God is one,

      The jungle could never make up their minds. First they complain that seminarians should not be incardinated into the priesthood very quickly. Now, they want to incardinate one quickly.

    2. God is one at 11:38 AM: I think you're spreading fake news and messing with Diana.

      You see, I went to the jungle and tried to find where "people in the jungle is already telling Byrnes to hurry up and incardinate james so he doesn't leave" BUT I couldn't find anything like that.

      I saw a lot of comments asking why he bothered coming to Guam but not a single one "telling Byrnes to hurry up and incardinate" him. If anything I saw comments saying that Guam doesn't need anymore "half-baked NEO Cult Presbyters that put Profit KIKO first" and that James is "NOT a Catholic priest."

      If you want to go by the name "God is one" then I think you shouldn't be spreading fake news.

    3. Heres the proof that's in the pudding The man is already “ordained”, so Byrnes cannot “un-priest” him. But will he welcome him into the brotherhood of the local clergy, and incardinate him into the archdiocese – or will he demand the strict observance of his earlier edict? So that looks like a hurry up sentence to me

    4. God is one at 7:34 PM: Of course James Arriola is already "ordained" as you say BUT where is the proof of what you wrote at 11:38 AM that "people in the jungle is already telling Byrnes to hurry up and incardinate james so he doesn't leave"???

      Fr. Arriola is already incardinated in Florida and is assigned to St. Katharine Drexel Church. So just WHERE is your claim that "people in the jungle is already telling Byrnes to hurry up and incardinate james so he doesn't leave"???

    5. Yes God is One@7:34pm the beginning of the post is correct. However, did you not read the ending of that very same post where the anonymous stated "So is that what Byrnes wants Arriola to be – just to be a thorn on the side for the church? I think Byrnes is caught between a hard rock and place on this one! Rots of rock.". Where in this Jungle Watch post where they are telling Archbishop Byrnes to hurry up an incardinated James into this Archdiocese? I beg to differ.

  4. Father James ia a great lad. May God continue to bless him and his family. This is another good fruit of the Neo-catechumenal communities. Thank you.
