A week after ailing Irish missionary Michael Sinnott was abducted in Pagadian City, residents hung streamers around the city calling for his immediate release.

Pagadian Bishop Emmanuel Cabajar said the local faithful also held prayer vigils and prayed the rosary, a week after armed men abducted Sinnott.

"Streamers calling for Fr. Mick’s release have been placed in a number of areas in the city," Cabajar said in an article posted on the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines news site Sunday night.

He said the Pagadian diocese have started communal and individual prayers to "implore God’s help for the immediate release" of Sinnott.
