Bishop DiLorenzo's statement following
deaths in Louisiana and Minnesota:
"Today, I would like to express my deep
sorrow and sadness for the loss of life
that has occurred in Louisiana and
Minnesota. During these difficult times,
let us turn our hearts and minds to
Jesus Christ for strength, compassion
and mercy. It is through Him that we
will find hope and peace.”
“In this Year of Mercy, may we all
continually pray for peace in our
country. It is my hope that the
demonstrations across our nation
remain peaceful and they encourage
mutual respect and dignity for all. May
God comfort all the individuals, their
families and communities affected by
these recent events and that a fair, just
and peaceful resolution is found."
Bishop DiLorenzo's statement following
the Dallas shootings:
"With great sadness I learned of the
heartbreaking violence that occurred
last night in Dallas when multiple law
enforcement officers were shot, five of
them fatally, in the last minutes of what
had been a peaceful protest march. I
pray for those officers, who sacrificed
their lives to protect the peace, their
families, and for the city of Dallas.
Yesterday, I appealed to the people of
our Diocese to turn our hearts and
minds to Jesus Christ for strength,
compassion and mercy in the wake of
deep concern about two shootings in
Louisiana and Minnesota. Today I once
again urge all to pray continually for
peace throughout all the communities
in our great nation. Let us pray that
future demonstrations are peaceful and
we continue to work as a people toward
mutual respect, dignity and justice. May
God comfort the brokenhearted, and let
peace prevail!
Every family photographed for the directory will receive a copy of the
