A Blatant Act of Tyranny
Dear Editor: This is a blatant act of tyranny by the imposition of this bill on the Constitution of New York State by Governor Cuomo
No Fan of Latin Mass
Dear Editor: I am 60 years old and have absolutely no memory – and therefore no fondness or nostalgia – of the Latin (Beautiful Missa Cantata, Readers’ Forum, Dec. 28 – Jan. 5).
Against Anti-Semitism
Dear Editor: Indeed, Bishop Caggiano is correct… (In Wake of Swastika Painting, Bishop Calls Anti-Semitism ‘Disgusting,’ Jan. 12 ) it is disgusting.
Sisters of Notre Dame
Dear Editor: I loved your sharing, such that any woman reading it would agree she can still be a sister (“Responding in Love” by Sister Nancy Gilchriest, S.S.N.D., March 3, 2018).
Great Memories
Dear Editor: I am a former student of Our Lady of Lourdes grammar school. (A Cristo Rey School Grows in Brooklyn, The Tablet, Nov. 12, 2011).
We Have Stopped Listening
Dear Editor: The world is in the midst of spiritual estrangement (Readers’ Forum, Free College Education?, Dec. 29).
Remembering Father Burns
Dear Editor: During his time as pastor of St. Michael’s Church in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, Father Patrick Burns served as a Clergy Liaison with the 72nd Precinct. Father Burns was always there for the NYPD whether in times of crisis or just to share a light hearted moment and his efforts to bridge police and community were unparalleled.
The Living Presence
Dear Editor: In his Dec. 29 column “Put Out into the Deep,” Bishop DiMarzio reminds us of the stories of the Holy Family’s difficulty finding shelter in Bethlehem, of their seeking refuge in Egypt, and of the massacre of the Holy Innocents which they narrowly escaped.
Beautiful Missa Cantata
DEAR EDITOR: Responding to some recent letters I would like to let the residents of Queens know that a beautiful Missa cantata is celebrated every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in St. Josaphat’s Church in Bayside, Queens, by Father Stephen Saffron. He also celebrates many Latin Masses for feast days and recently has offered daily Rorate Masses at 6:35 am during Advent.
