Dear Editor: Hope this letter finds you healthy, happy and peaceful. These days are hard times with all of us worried and praying for the world and each other.

I hope you will be able to publish the following words in your paper. We are a community, 30 percent of us are well off and the rest are poor and half-educated. But they are pious people.

I kindly request your readers to send me their spare rosaries for the needy people over here. We will be keeping you in our prayers and holy Masses.

Father Paul Cruz
