We mourn the loss of innocent life taken in a devastating act of violence in Minneapolis, Minnesota during a school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church. As School Sisters of Notre Dame, we have had the joy of celebrating Mass with our students, fellow teachers, and their families over decades of dedication to Catholic education. The fact that violence of this nature could occur during such a sacred time is incomprehensible. We recommit ourselves to advocating for an end to the gun violence which plagues our nation. To the Annunciation Catholic School community, especially the families who have suffered loss, the Archdiocese of Saint Paul Minneapolis, and the people of the Minneapolis area, we pray for you and mourn with you.
