Dear Editor: The Tablet’s Bright Christmas Campaign has shed light on the St. Francis House! We are very grateful for your generosity. It was a difficult Christmas this year because of Father Benedict’s (Groeschel) passing. I know he is praying for us and our benefactors who have been so kind to us, since the home […]

Midwood’s Hall of Fame
Dear Editor: The year was 1968. I was a seven-year- old in the second grade at Our Lady Help of Christians (OLHC) when my mother came home from an open school night and told me, “Hey, Ken, someone in your class has a very famous father. I just met the girl’s mother this evening.” I […]
Differing on Cuomo
Dear Editor: I have always looked forward to reading Father John Cush’s columns and he has my utmost respect but this week’s Up Front & Personal (Jan. 10) left me stunned. Why did Father Cush quote Christopher Hale from the dissident group Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, a notorious pro-abortion Democrat Catholic front group […]
Rally Will Support Police
Dear Editor: This truly is a sad time for the City of New York and the country as two police officers were executed in cold blood while in their patrol car serving the community. They were Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos. This took place in Bedford-Stuyvesant and this heinous act was perpetrated by a […]
Keeping Satan at Bay
Dear Editor: Great job with your editorials this week. Right on target. I hope that everyone reads and fully understands where you were coming from. As I have said so often, “Satan is walking in our midst. His primary targets are the easy ones – those whose faith is weak or empty.” His messengers and […]
Cuomo’s Catholic Problem
Dear Editor: Mario Cuomo, despite his immigrant parent upbringing in Queens and his overwhelming education at Catholic schools and then St. John’s University and St. John’s Law School, where his pictures are hung on every available wall, he chose the Ultra-Liberal Democratic Party above his religious directives. I, by all means, cannot sit in judgment […]
Bright Christmas Thanks
Dear Editor: I wish to take this opportunity to thank you and the Bright Christmas campaign for your generous donation to Visitation B.V.M. Church. It will indeed be used to brighten Christmas for the parish’s children. Many thanks and God bless you. May you have a wonderful Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year. […]
Problem With Obama’s Order
Dear Editor: With regard to President Obama’s immigration executive order, I think that there are serious moral concerns to be considered. Some church leaders seemed to have embraced this new policy as a good thing. However, important questions must be answered. Mr. Obama has violated the U.S. Constitution by denying religious liberty to the Catholic […]
Widowhood and Christmas
Dear Editor: After reading Widowhood and Christmas (Dec. 13), I felt I had to write to commend you and Mr. Dodds for such a wonderful article. This will be my fourth Christmas without Walt and I too feel that “the best has come and gone.” There is much truth in Mr. Dodds’ words that people […]
Hodges’ Fan
Dear Editor: As a lifetime Brooklyn Dodgers fan, I read with interest and sincere sadness, Jim Mancari’s report (Dec. 20) on Gil Hodges’ latest slap in the face by the Baseball Writers of America. Their arrogance and vacuous self aggrandizement totally voids any respect, of which they may believe, they are worthy. One wonders, just […]
