Re “Chaplains comfort, counsel, cheer police, fire personnel,” Oct. 11:
Thank you so much for your outstanding article on Fathers Green and Quinn. They are truly wonderful men bringing counsel and comfort to our wonderful first responders. Their selfless dedications have brought peace and understanding to those in pain and conflict.
As a 28-year patrolman for the SFPD, I have seen the great works of these “men of the cloth” on many occasions. They delve into a world of chaos and confusion and always seem to help so many see the light of hope and God’s love. The presence of these two men along with the great Sister Lil make all of our lives so much better and manageable!
God bless our first responders and our chaplains. They are truly God’s grace!
Editor’s note: The article, by Lidia Wasowicz, also featured the work of Father Andrew Spyrow, pastor of St. Rafael Parish and chaplain for the San Rafael Police Department.
