To the editor:
On a recent walk in Pittsford I was deeply dismayed to see at the curb several crucifixes and a large Infant of Prague statue. It seems even the garbage company didn’t have the heart to take them! As the homes of those who have passed are cleaned out, is there no place that will accept holy, blessed artifacts? Many a prayer has been answered in front of these mementos and yet what should the younger generation do with them? Could the Diocese find a solution but please don’t say drop it off at a church because even many churches have shelves of unused "drop-offs."
