Legislative Appointee

Påle’ Felixberto Camacho Leon Guerrero, O.F.M.Cap. is a Capuchin Franciscan Priest. He presently is the Pastor of San Miguel Catholic Church in Talo’fo’fo’. One of the great advantages assigned to the parish is that it is predominantly CHamoru and the language is frequently spoken. He spent three years in Saipan as Pastor of Kristo Rai Parish in Garapan to include ministry at San Roke Parish and Santa Remedio Parish in Tanapak where he learned and spoke CHamoru on a daily basis. As pastor of other churches, he was able to speak the language including the singing and writing of CHamoru songs and hymns. He also is able to say the Holy Mass in CHamoru. He continues the CHamoru cultural traditions and practices within religious celebrations and events. He presently is working in collaboration with the University of Guam promoting the UmeyakCHamoru website which allows people to listen and learn the words of the Gospels in CHamoru. He hopes to expand the Gospels to include reflections and commentaries in CHamoru.
