The Concerned Catholics of Guam will be hosting a village meeting at the Sinajana Community Center on Thursday from 6-8pm. According to president Greg Perez, the village meetings are an effort to unite the local Catholic community, bring awareness to the issues within the Catholic Church and allow parishioners to voice their concerns.

The organization is looking into the controversies surrounding the church and is asking the Archdiocese of Agana for transparency. Perez says that they have met with the chancery and discussed what can be done to heal and unify the Catholic community locally. While Perez says he doubts the sincerity, the CCOG will push for continued talks with the chancery and listen with an open mind.
