All We Have to Do Is Let Go and Let God
There are events in our lives that make lasting impressions on us. In my own life, an event took place many years ago when I was beginning my journey to the diaconate. There were 12 of us in our first year of the program. This was a year of discerning our faith and our personal relationship with God.
Loves Tablet, Weigel
Dear Editor: I love The Tablet and read it faithfully word for word every week. I especially love George Weigel and the column he wrote “The Confessions of a Political Elitist” (June 25) was fantastic. I believe what he wrote and count myself with pride as being in the ranks of elitists. Thank you, Mr. Weigel.
Harmony of Catholic Education
Dear Editor: Choreography in a musical like Annie (which I saw at Christ the King High School on April 30) is crucial to the success of the production. The artistry, the harmony, the teamwork (not to mention great music and great coaching) have characterized the musicals of Christ the King H.S. in my experience since 2012 when I taught religion there for one semester as an emergency replacement.
Thanks, Catholic Charities
Dear Editor: I am writing on behalf of the seniors from Narrows Senior Center. We seniors are transported by vans each day by Maddy and Samuel, the drivers. We are treated with very much respect and tender care. Many thanks! We are taken to our doctors’ appointments, trips, and in some cases, shopping.
