El Salvador Calling

Jim Cosgrove Commentaries

We're writing in response to “Church Seeks Aid for Salvadorans” (Media Watch, Mar. 4-10), which states that the Church in El Salvador has issued an urgent call for food and clothes due to the earthquakes. Our question is, where do we send clothing donations? There is no address listed. Also, can they use winter clothing? We're unfamiliar with their geography — is it mountainous? Please answer these questions as we would like to send a clothing donation soon.

God bless you, and thank you for your wonderful paper.

BILL AND COLLEEN PASNIK Dubuque, Iowa

Palestinian Christians celebrate Easter Sunday Mass at Holy Family Church in Gaza City on March 31, amid the ongoing battles Israel and the Hamas militant group.

People Explain ‘Why I Go to Mass’

‘Why go to Mass on Sundays? It is not enough to answer that it is a precept of the Church. … We Christians need to participate in Sunday Mass because only with the grace of Jesus, with his living presence in us and among us, can we put into practice his commandment, and thus be his credible witnesses.’ —Pope Francis
