Father Nino served the Archdiocese of Agaña for 16 years, having been ordained on Nov. 8, 2008.
His longest service was at Niño Perdido y Sagrada Familia, where he served as Parochial Vicar and later as Pastor for nearly a decade. He also ministered in Ordot and Yigo.
The archdiocese announced his sudden passing a month after Fr. Caminiti was under investigation for allegations of clergy sexual conduct and has undergone intensive renewal programs.
