Honoring Our Covenant, Reflecting on Our Journey

Covenant Day is a time to reflect on the agreement that shaped our Commonwealth’s path and strengthened our connection with the United States. Nearly 50 years ago, our leaders built a foundation that prioritizes opportunity, progress, and a better quality of life for everyone who calls these islands home.

Through economic growth, education, and community well-being, the Covenant continues to influence our future. Its legacy remains a source of resilience, guiding us toward stability and prosperity despite today’s challenges.

We wish you a safe and restful Covenant Day Marianas!
