Helping the poor, especially near Christmas time, is so very important. They have no where to go and for the poor people who had the blessing to go there must be very thankful towards all the help from you! Thank you agian for the wonderful blogs Cardinal!

Those people that go there must be so greatful that they have people caring for them and people that are helping them with the tough times in thier lives. They are provided with food, shelter, help with finding jobs, and some even a permanent residence. Most homless or people in need don’t have those opportunities and they people that do are very lucky. - Megan Daley Dear Cardinal Sean,

I think Lyndia Downie has done a magnificent job at the Pine Street Inn. I also think that the St. Francis House day shelter is a wonder place. Both of these establishments serve as homes for people who don't any other place to go. I think these facilities are doing a wonderful job.

Happy New Year! I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. This week's blog was great but the part that I enjoyed most was how you visited the members of Pine Street Inn.

I hope that I will see your blog up next week and see all the generous things that you do. Thanks again! Dear Cardinal Sean,

I thouht it was very cool how you met with a volunteer, David Gergen, who worked as President Clinton’s Chief of Staff and also worked on the White House staff of the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations. The Cathedral of Holy Cross looked amazing. It was beautifully decorated! Dear Cardinal Sean,

I also think that it was a good lesson for David Gergen to teach his children about giving.

I enjoyed reading about your holiday activities. It was very generous and kind of you to visit the Pine Street Inn on Christmas Eve and the St. Francis House day shelter on Christmas day. I believe these two sanctuaries represent a great and needy cause. I wish them both the best in their mission of following Christ by helping others in need. God Bless. Dear Cardinal Sean,

I hope it will be a blessed year for you, filled with peace, grace and joy. I am from Northern Ireland; from Downpatrick to be exact, which is so closely associated with St Patrick. He set foot in Ireland only 3 miles away at Saul and his final resting place is here in Downpatrick. I came across your blog site by accident - a happy accident! I am very impressed with all that you have done and I wish you every blessing on your ministry. I had the privilege of visiting your beautiful Cathedral quite a few years ago. It was closed at the time and the Nuns from the Cardinal Cushing shop opposite the Cathedral phoned the Sacristan and he gave me and my family a personal guided tour - a most memorable time for me. Anyhow, please accepy my sincere good wishes for all that you do. God bless you. Diarmuid Dear Cardinal Sean, i wish to send you the warmest greetings for the New Year.
