CPSMA would like to express our deepest sympathies to the children, parents and school community of Annunciation Catholic School. “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).
James Martin, SJ@JamesMartinSJ
Dear friends: Pray for the two children killed, all those injured, and their families and friends, in the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, during the first Mass of the new school year. Pray for an end to gun violence and for sensible gun control laws. May the prayers of Our Lady of the Annunciation turn our hearts to peace and move us to prevent all future violence. Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
