Archbishop Broglio has issued the following statement on the killing of U.S. Military personnel outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan on Thursday, 26 August 2021:
“Receiving the news about the tragic loss of Marines and a Corpsman in Afghanistan while in San Diego for the first AMS convocation of 2021, I immediately joined the assembled priests to pray for the repose of their souls and the consolation of their families. Together we beg the Prince of Peace for a time of dialogue and a profound respect for the priceless value of human life.”
