Dear Mrs. Foti:

Your letter dated February 20, 2008, which was addressed to Monsignor John Sempa and me has been received. I would suggest that you make it a point to emphasize your concern about the sale of Sacred Heart School and the renovations of Saint Stanislaus Church to the pastor and the parish representatives who are serving on the core committee in the Called to Holiness and Mission program. These are local issues that rightly require the attention of those grappling with the parochial matters at hand. During our meeting on February 8, 2008. Monsignor expressed an openness to hearing such concerns from parishioners.

Very truly yours,

James B. Earley Chancellor
