Controversial Renaming
Dear Editor: Let’s remember, Ormond Pl. was renamed Claver Pl. to honor and recognize St. Peter Claver’s devotion in ministry to the African slaves (“Bed-Stuy Parish Fights Street Naming for Controversial Figure,” Feb. 16).
The Fight Against Abortion
Dear Editor: How anyone can trust any decision made by any Senator who does not care enough to protect the lives of our most vulnerable citizens and is not wise enough to realize it is not the woman’s body?

Sister Francis Kress
Dear Editor: I believe she assisted in a mental health clinic in Greenpoint near St. Anthony’s during the 1970s (“Sister Francis Gerard Kress, C.S.J.,” Obituaries, Feb. 23).
One of God’s Angels
Dear Editor: You were truly one of God’s angels (“Sister Mary Kilian Sullivan, R.S.M.,” Obituaries, Feb. 11, 2015). As an adult it is easy to see all the love you had for your students.
