To the editor:

In this time of year with the Christmas holidays and the COVID-19 crisis, it is urgently important to help your fellow Catholic parishioners as well as everybody with food and housing, especially with the cold winter months approaching.

I have seen many people living on the streets and in the parks, until the police tell them to move or they will be arrested. They have nowhere to go. I know they might have problems but we should not turn our back to them. I feel strongly to let my opinions known.
 
Happy holidays and God bless everybody.
