Puerto Rico Earthquakes 2019 - 2020
Pictured above: the Roman Catholic cathedral in Ponce; the
Episcopalian cathedral in San Juan, and the interior of the Roman
Catholic cathedral in San Juan.
Currently, we are unable to obtain
tallies for total clergy (all denominations) for Puerto Rico but the
statistics for Roman Catholics (about 70% of the population) are 177
parishes; 198 priests; 200 permanent deacons; 121 male religious and
387 female religious. In our experience, clergy have far more
influence than their numbers would suggest. For many reasons they and
the churches need to be safeguarded.
