We must respond to assaults in Syria

On April 13, 2017
Jean Tretow-Schmitz

To the editor:

The latest assault on civilians in Idlib province in Syria shows a brash disregard for the most vulnerable.

How can we spend our time and resources on the latest fashions or sporting events while all over the world innocent children and families suffer unimaginable hardship in in their own countries?

Let us pray first, then act! Pray for peace. Contact your senators and representatives. Give generously to Catholic Relief Services. The time is now!

Jean Tretow-Schmitz, Madison
