Gregorio Ramarui
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gregorio Ramarui was the first native Palauan to be ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic Church.
In February 1964, Ramarui was ordained a priest in Koror, Palau. His ordination was attended by Roman Catholic leaders from as far away as Pohnpei.
Ramarui left the Roman Catholic priesthood two years after his ordination.
