During his short stay in Guam, the Pope was greeted by thousands of island residents, including then Governor Paul Calvo and Bishop Felixberto Flores. During his visit he switched into the CHamoru language on several occasions, most notably to tell the people of Guam “Hu guaiya todu hamyo!” or “I love you all!” A crowd of more than 15,000 people gathered to hear him in Hagåtña.
Today a bronze statue can be found in front of the Guam Museum commemorating this historic visit to the island.
