Archbishop of Trujillo to rescind agreement on Guadalupe church restoration

Archbishop Randy Cardozo of Trujillo is requesting to cancel the current agreement for the restoration of the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe church and former convent.

The Archbishop stated that a technical team from the Archdiocese evaluated the project and identified fundamental administrative and technical flaws. These issues involve the project's foundation, its profile, and the hiring of supervisors. According to the Archdiocese, these errors cannot be corrected under the existing procedure, making it irresponsible to continue the work under current conditions.

Cardozo noted that the decision aims to ensure the restoration is carried out with transparency and respect for the religious and historical heritage of the community. He expressed a commitment to the conservation of the site despite the decision to rescind the current contract.
