OC CATHOLIC AFAR

5/18/2026

Attached are two photographs of my husband and me on the equator holding the OC Catholic.

The tower in the background is the marker. I am standing with one foot in the Northern hemisphere and the other foot in the Southern hemisphere.

The picture was taken in Macapá, Brazil, a large city on the Amazon River.

Brazil is a Catholic country with many churches. The Brazilian people have a great devotion to Mary.

—Delaine and Terry Sherry are parishioners of St. Cecilia Catholic Church in Tustin.
