Rita Cabrera Guerrero has served the Catholic Church at her parish and the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa for over 30 years. At San Vincente Ferrer Parish, which serves several small communities, she has been a CCE catechist and liturgical lay minister. She is working to translate the new edition of the Roman Missal, liturgical prayer books, hymns, novenas and the New Testament Bible, into the local native language of Chamorro. This labor of love is important because the Chamorros, the indigenous people of the Mariana Islands, including Guam, have a rich Catholic tradition after more than 300 years of Spanish colonization.
