Lots of support for Newtown priests; One darn good 'Hobby'

Happy New Year, everyone!

Last month, a letter was circulated online asking for prayers and cards of support for Father Luke Suarez, parochial vicar at St. Rose of Lima parish in Newtown, Connecticut. (There are two other priests at the parish as well — Father Ignacio Ortigas and Monsignor Robert Weiss.)

Tom Crowe of CatholicVote.org, who was in seminary with Father Luke for one year, reprinted the letter on CV's blog; click here to read it.

Below is a photo of some of the mail sent to Father Luke at the parish rectory. Suffice to say, the priests will be spending a lot of time opening it!




From Catholic World News:
Now that's a courageous stance! God bless Hobby Lobby.
