Dear Editor: I was deeply moved and inspired by reading the eloquent piece written by Jessica Dalonzo (June 2)“I Can Do All Things.”

Dear Editor: My deepest thanks to Christopher White and The Tablet staff for “Implementing Laudato Si’,”(May 26), informing us about the actions of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., to green unused roads in archdiocesan cemeteries to prevent storm water pollution into local rivers and streams.

Dear Editor: Where I grew up in St. Thomas the Apostle parish, Woodhaven, in the ‘60s, I had a friend who lived across the street. His older sister went to Dominican Commercial H.S. (June 2) and worked in downtown Manhattan for a law firm.

Dear Editor:  As members of the Kings Bay Plowshares (April 14), we welcome and respect the views of those who write (April 21) in opposition to the defacing and destroying of government property. Our efforts to smash idols and beat swords into plowshares are certainly controversial and should be debated.

Dear Editor: There is barely a news account – of the U.S. or the world – that does not cry out for healing, for justice, for peace. But I myself have been the most heart-broken over the suffering of the parents and children crossing our border. This is not a horror taking place in a brutal society off the radar. This is not an issue for partisan politics. This is a human rights crime that is being perpetrated in our names as Americans. Families are being ripped apart even in our own diocese: in Fort Hamilton where I grew up, a pizza delivery man was detained and his future in this country now rests in the hands of the court.
