My Dear Parishioners,

I want to share with you some information from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as they address the recent tragic events in Minneapolis:

Archbishop Paul Coakley, President of the US Catholic Bishops’ Conference, called for Americans to come together in dialogue and turn away from “dehumanizing rhetoric and acts which threaten human life.”

“I prayerfully urge calm, restraint, and respect for human life in Minneapolis, and all those places where peace is threatened,” he said in a  statement  released on Sunday. “Public authorities especially have a responsibility to safeguard the well-being of people in service to the common good.”
Archbishop Coakley recalled the Pope’s appeal for peace at the  Angelus address on Sunday .

“Pope Leo XIV reminds us that ‘the Gospel must be proclaimed and lived in every setting, serving as a leaven of fraternity and peace among all individuals, cultures, religions and peoples’,” said the Archbishop.
