The relevance of the pastoral letter issued on the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, September 8, regarding the housing situation in our country and entitled ‘Building our houses on a rock’, is undisputed. In fact, it is a wake-up call to remedy the present situation wherein many people are suffering silently and terribly.
I humbly appeal and pray that this pastoral letter of our bishops be of great inspiration and help in the formulation of a common policy wherein, as they rightly write, “no one is left without an adequate and dignified shelter in our country”.
