Caribbean Church Review 2020 Tags
While COVID-19 has been the story of the year, there were other top stories coming out from the wider Catholic Church in the Caribbean.
Here are some notable stories from the past 12 months:
CHURCH’S RESPONSE TO COVID-19

Bishop Clyde Harvey of St George’s-in-Grenada has spoken out against citizens who seemed intent on celebrating Grenada’s Carnival as usual. He said the decision not to have Carnival this year was “obvious” and not a “sinister plot” but sensible, responsible behaviour amidst the current pandemic.

But are we ready to celebrate His birth with joy and purpose? COVID has undoubtedly dampened our celebratory spirit.

Shines to the King born this night,
Drawing men of good might,
Bearing gold, myrrh, and frankincense.
Joyous Angels’ “Gloria to the Christ!”
