Amen McMullen Commentary

Protect children, each and every one

April 5, 2018
By Paul McMullen
Filed Under: Amen, Amen McMullen Commentary, Child & Youth Protection, Commentary, Local News

Those who turn a blind eye to the children  who are victims of human trafficking; young refugees from Afghanistan or Syria; or the young ones among us who do not have ample food, clothing, shelter and education, contribute to their neglect.

“Some focus on a specific issue, Father Bialek said of Father Mike Orchik. “He wants to help all people, regardless of their situation.”

Amen: Holy Ghost Power

If one of the features the Review publishes in the coming year moves you or your neighbor to give even more, it will fulfill its purpose.

Amen: Peaceful road warrior

By Paul McMullen
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Amen, Amen McMullen Commentary
