Work of the Catholic Church

Mon., Dec. 17, 2018

Thank you for the article relating Rev. Mike Savelesky’s volunteer work for the Christmas Bureau (“Answering the gospel’s call,” Dec. 7, 2018). In lieu of the many years we’ve read and heard about the tragedy of individuals suffering abuse by the clergy of the Catholic Church, it was good to see attention being given to the other side of the equation.

So many of these servants reveal their mission honorably, demonstrating their love of God through their faith-filled priesthood and daily work of doing good for others.
