Today is the National Day of Prayer.
Governor Schneider declared this the Virgin Islands Day of Prayer. There is a prayer meeting in Emancipation Garden at noon and another gathering at Tutu Park Mall at noon. It is becoming commonplace to have Navy ships in St. Thomas again, but it is not common to have a locally born female officer on board one of our Navy ships and the USS Gunston Hall can boast the presence of Lt. Trissa Maxwell of St. Thomas as the surface warfare officer on the ship. Maxwell is a graduate of Sts Peter and Paul and of Savannah State College in Georgia.
