Inaugural street carnival draws hundreds! Monday - July, 14, 2008
The Cathedral-Basilica Gift Shop's first "Catholics Come Home - Street Carnival" was a tremendous success! Numerous parishioners, families, and friends from throughout the island enjoyed an evening filled with great entertainment from the Guam Territorial Band, family-relay games, and foods from various vendors. Visitors were also given the opportunity to learn more about the Catholic faith with the help of the Catholic Evidence Guild of Guam.
The Pastoral Staff of the Cathedral-Basilica and the Management & Staff of the Cathedral-Basilica Gift Shop extends a big "THANK YOU" to those who participated and made the street carnival possible.
