I very much appreciate your publication and the opportunity to keep up to date on the happenings in the Roman Catholic Church and the diocese.
May God continue to bless you in this ministry.

The Editor:
Our prayer is invited for the reduction and prohibition of nuclear weapons. Jan. 22 marks one year since the Treaty on Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons entered into force at the United Nations. Earlier, the Holy See (Vatican) was among the first states to sign and ratify it. Neither Canada nor the United States have signed the treaty. We join many others in praying and advocating for that goal. We also join in celebrating a recent pastoral letter by Archbishop John Wester of Sante Fe, New Mexico: “Living in the Light of Christ’s Peace: A Conversation Toward Nuclear Disarmament.”
Thank you,
Roma De Robertis, SC,

The Editor:
You asked, in your last mailout, what I/readers thought of the ICN focus on First Nation residential schools. I thought your/ICN’s focus was great! The Dec. 11, 2021 Globe and Mail had a three-page spread on the FN residential school in Lower Post, just inside the BC border and the sexual predator who was protected by the church. This is to say that your articles are keeping up with The Globe and Mail.
Allow me to simply say that I read and appreciate each edition of ICN from cover to cover. The perspective is “whole picture” of person or event or ideas. Your answers are not religious. ICN lifts the covers and brings so much to light.
Thank you for your fine paper and work. Please carry on!
