Vatican City, May 13, 2020 / 11:00 am (CNA).- A cardinal has praised Vatican officials for their “heartfelt response” to his request for donations to those suffering amid the coronavirus crisis.

Cardinal Konrad Krajewski told CNA May 13 that some officials had given the equivalent of a month’s salary, while others had donated two months’ worth of their earnings. 

He said: “There was a great response. It exceeded all of our thoughts.”
