A few dozen of the island’s Catholics took their prayers to the streets yesterday afternoon in another attempt to call the Vatican’s attention to a variety of concerns about the current leadership of the island’s Catholic Church.
Holding rosaries, saying prayers, and a few of them carrying statues, they walked several blocks from a vacant lot across from St. Anthony’s church in Tamuning to the Carmelite monastery compound, where visiting representatives of the Vatican were holding private meetings with certain members of the local church community.
Yesterday’s walk was the first of three public prayer events being held this week by certain members of the local Catholic community who have been trying to call the Vatican’s attention — for months — to problems they’ve said have divided the local Catholic Church.
Danny Cabe, one of about 50 people who joined the prayer walk, held a statue of Mother Mary.
