RE: FATHER ROMEO “JUN” TENA, SMA

Dear Monsignor /Father / Brother / Sister:

Greetings!

This is in reference to Father Romeo “Jun” Tena (picture enclosed) of the Society of African Missions (SMA), who has been reported as saying Mass at the Port Area and also collecting money.

We wish to inform you that said Father Tena has no permission from his society to celebrate the Sacraments and his superiors are also requesting that he will not be permitted to celebrate the Sacraments in the Archdiocese.

Kindly disseminate the information to your parishioners/constituents to ensure that he does not administer any sacraments in any chapel or church in your jurisdiction.

Thank you very much.

In Jesus’ love,

REV. FR. RUFINO C. SESCON
Chancellor
