HIS EMINENCE
MICHELE CARDINAL GIORDANO
Archbishop of Naples
Largo Donnaregina, 22

Italy

Your Eminence:

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you for the amount of Three
Hundred Thousand Pesos (Php 300,000.00) from Your Eminence's Archdiocesan
Solidarity Fund as financial assistance to the Archdiocese of Cebu. The said amount
was handed to me personally by Rev. Fr. Bruno Oliviero.
I am happy to inform Your Eminence that I have already allotted the amount
you sent us for the skills training of the poor and less-privilege members of our
parishes in the Archdiocese of Cebu. Indeed, many of our faithful will benefit from it.
As I thank you for your generosity, I wish to assure Your Eminence of my
prayers.
With my fraternal esteem and regards, I remain
                                                                                      

Sincerely in the Lord,

+RICARDO J. CARDINAL VIDAL

Archbishop of Cebu
