Archbishop Aymond responds to the tragic shootings in Lafayette, Louisiana

Our prayers are with the victims of the shootings in Lafayette, their families, and the entire community. As a people of God we must continue to pray and work for peace in our world.

Sadly, this tragedy is yet another reminder that we as a society must do more to take care of those who are mentally ill. As we pray Our Family Prayer against violence, murder, and racism this weekend, let us keep the victims of this tragedy and their families in our prayers and renew our commitment to be peacemakers of our time.
