Strengthen family and world will follow

The Archdiocese of Baltimore should reach out to strengthen every member of every family with Friday family nights. The recent murder-suicides are scandalous, and our Catholic families should not be involved in such terrible crimes.

In the financial fear area, the archdiocese must copy the example of the Vatican, which employs photovoltaic solar panels. Our parishes should employ solar photovoltaic panels for electricity, solar water panels and geothermal systems for heating our buildings, vertical axis windmills to augment electric power production and other energy-saving ideas to keep energy costs under control.
