ARCHBISHOP Jason Charles Gordon has called on Catholics and members of the wider national population to pray for peace in the region. He issued this call in a letter on November 1.

Gordon's come against the background of increased US-Venezuela tensions, the imminent arrival of additional US military forces in the southern Caribbean and reports that Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force (TTDF) personnel have been recalled to base.

He said, "We are living in uncertain times. The heightened military activity in our waters stirs fear and confusion."
