With flags at half-staff outside the Edwin Cardinal O’Brien Pastoral Center, Washington, DC, headquarters of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., issued the following statement on the Aug. 27 mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN:
“I join Archbishop Hebda and people of good will everywhere in expressing heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims at Annunciation Parish and to all of those who have been deeply shaken by this unnecessary and venomous attack on the innocent. May we all hear the Gospel imperative to seek peace and to treat others as we would have them treat us.”
