To Father Luisito Atanacio:

Greetings! We are currently conducting an ethnography about gender and sexuality as part of our requirements for our Social Science III class. Particularly, we are interested in collecting opinions about homosexuality from members of the Catholic church, specifically from the priests, through questionnaires. In line with this, we would like to ask your church to participate on our research and for the priests of your parish to answer the questionnaires. We are hoping for your kind consideration. Thank you & God Bless!

Sincerely Yours,

Montessa Guelas Group Leader
