Dear Parents: |
|
1. ARCHBISHOP NIEDERAUER: Nativity
School received a letter on behalf of Most Reverend George Niederauer,
Archbishop of San Francisco, thanking us for our response to Haiti in
their time of need. "In the aftermath of the grave disaster which
took place in Haiti, your generosity shows as a tangible symbol of the
love of God for those in need. Your gift means food for the
hungry, medical supplies and attention for the sick or injured, shelter
for the homeless and care for the grieving. We sincerely
appreciate your willingness to share with others in Haiti from the
gifts you have received."
