You don’t have to be religious to revere Father Greg Boyle

To the editor: Honoring Father Greg Boyle, who runs the L.A. gang intervention program Homeboy Industries, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom was long overdue.

Boyle practices the tenets of his faith with humility, dedication and love. He is truly a living saint.

I am neither Catholic nor religious, but heroes like Boyle give me some hope for the future.
