Archbishop’s message of prayer
on passing of CNMI Governor Palacios
---
On behalf of the Archdiocese of Agaña as well as the bishops and Catholics of the Pacific region, I extend prayers on the passing of Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Governor Arnold I. Palacios.

I send our love and condolences to his dear widow, First Lady Wella Palacios and the family. May our loving God hold them close to his heart and comfort them in their time of sorrow.

Governor Palacios led the people of the Northern Marianas with tremendous strength, dedication and conviction. His faith in God was also important to him. Together with his wife Wella, Governor Palacios was an active member of the Catholic community and Kristo Rai Church in Garapan.

He loved his family, children and grandchildren and the people of the Northern Mariana Islands deeply. We are grateful for his leadership and service to the people and lift him up in prayer to our merciful Father.

Trusting always in God,

/s/Most Reverend Ryan P. Jimenez, D.D.
Archbishop of Agaña
