"Asking parishioners to reach out to neighbors and co-workers of Middle Eastern descent who may be living in fear, [Cardinal] Law said, 'Both as parishes and individuals, we must reach out to those among us who may feel threatened. We must work together to ensure that prejudice and hatred do not take root among us.'"
