Dionisio Guillermo Garcia Ibanez, a Catholic Archbishop in Santiago, said, "The faith of our community has manifested, it has been reborn. The Catholic faith in our community has resurrected."

Although religious activity in Cuba is still very closely monitored by the government, some of the seemingly expanding freedoms include sharing the Gospel door-to-door, holding religious processions in the streets, and radio broadcasts.
