Prayers for Dayton and El Paso

Brothers,

There have been another two shooting incidents in less than 24 hours. Both in cities/areas where the Province serves. From all initial reports, no Marianists or Marianist family members have been hurt by these tragedies. Keep in mind that the Marianist Community in Juárez is just across the border from El Paso. 

As more information becomes available, we will let you know.  

I’d ask that communities across the Province unite in prayer by dedicating our community prayer on Tuesday, August 6, to peace in our world and, most especially, in our country.  In offering this prayer, we also unite ourselves with those families directly affected by the most recent incidents in El Paso and Dayton. 

Thank you,
