Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis victim of school shooting

By Katherine E. Harmon, August 27, 2025

Today, children were shot and killed in a Catholic School.  At Mass. 

From Columbine, to Texas, to Connecticut…to the source and summit of the Christian life.  What will it take to stop gun violence?

Please pray for the children of Annunciation School in Minneapolis, their families, their parents, and all who have suffered this regular tragedy of gun violence.  Pray for the gunman.  Pray for all who would become agents of death. 

Pray for an end.
