OUR HEARTS ARE WITH YOU

To our sisters and brothers at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis:

When one member of the Body rejoices, the Body rejoices.

When one member of the Body suffers, the Body suffers.

When one member of the Body mourns, the Body mourns.

We mourn with you, standing from afar, but know our presence with you.  We pray for hope and healing for your victims and families who are struggling with this reality.  We implore God for the end of this senseless violence, hate, and inhumanity.  May God’s peace be with you, and may they rest in peace.

To our brothers and sisters here at Saint Bernadette:

We stand in solidarity with the Catholic Church and condemn this act with deep sadness, and pray for resolution.  We also renew our commitment to making our first priority the safety and well-being of our children and our families.  We take our security measures very seriously and ask for your partnership to remind our children about the importance of our safety procedures and how they can contribute to the well-being of all by listening attentively and following the guidance of parish leaders.  The Lord be with you.
