Research Notes: Child - Father Raymond Harvey Francis Demers
In August, 1946, the Very Rev. Raymond Demers, OFM, Cap., arrived on Guam and was given charge of Toto and Anigua as chapels attached to the Agana parish. Soon after he began working in the mission, a typhoon hit the island which destroyed the tent structure. Father Raymond obtained permission from the colonel of Fifth Field to use an abandoned thatched roof building at the entrance of the village, which today belongs to Jose Camacho Borja (dec.) and Leonora Castro Borja. The thatched roof building became known as the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel.

Chairman, Building Renovations Committee (1995)
The decision to build a new church structure began in March, 1947, when Father Raymond Demers, O.F.M., Cap., held parish meetings to discuss this important project. It was a project which Father Julius Sullivan, O.F.M., Cap., took over in August, 1947, when he was assigned pastor of the Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament parish.
