AN APPEAL TO HELP PARISHES DURING OUR PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
As with most organizations, the Catholic Church on Guam has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. The extended public health emergency and cancellation of Masses has caused a great strain on our parishes, the centers of spiritual life and community in our Archdiocese.
Parishes are now urged to apply for all federal and territorial assistance available, but it is not enough as the emergency continues. Parishes’ ability to pay for basic operating expenses such as staff pay, buildings and ground maintenance, and utility services has been severely affected.
We appeal to you to help your parishes, if you can, by continuing your normal daily and weekly offerings (limosna) and your Mass intentions. If your parish does not have an online donation site, you can mail your donations directly to your parish. Please make your checks payable to your parish name. Mailing addresses are listed below. We extend our sincerest thanks for your continued kindness.
Yours in Jesus Christ,
Archbishop Michael J. Byrnes, S.T.D. Archbishop of Agaña
