An Open Letter to the People of Colorado

Dear Friends:

We are concerned with unrest and increased crim e...with people at odds with each other... with squalor and decay... with hunger and imposed ignorance and neglect of children and the aged.

And because we are concerned, we must react through prayer and with our hands and hearts and worldly goods. We must act to relieve hunger; enlighten ignorance; clothe and shelter the poor; rebuild w here there is decay.

To this end the Catholic people of Northern Colorado will be asked to suDscribe $960,000 in 1969 to help meet these needs. A < We ask your prayerful good wishes. i< Sincerely, «
