A prayer walk scheduled for this afternoon, a prayer vigil on Friday and a third public prayer gathering, also on Friday, are being organized as part of a grassroots effort to send messages to a visiting delegation of Vatican representatives.
One of the organizers, Dwayne Santos, said the prayer walk will give island residents who can’t secure an appointment with the Vatican representatives a way to call attention to concerns that have divided the local Catholic community.
Participants of the prayer walk, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. today, will meet across from St. Anthony’s Church in Tamuning and proceed to the Carmelite Monastery several blocks away.
The Vatican delegation is expected to hold private meetings with certain members of the local church community in the monastery compound.
“Anyone can join the walk even if they just want to be there to pray,” Santos said.
