The Puerto Rican bishops' conference announced Saturday it will hold a 24-hour prayer encounter this weekend, in the face of the territory's social and governmental instability.
Protesters have been calling this week for the resignation of Governor Ricardo Rossello.
Earlier this month, crude messages from a group chat among Rosello and some of his team were published in the media.
More remotely, his administration has faced pressure over corruption and its response to the territory's debt crisis, economic recession, and Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island in 2017.
