Letter from the Interfaith Council
Friday, March 15, 2019

To the Greater Sacramento Area Muslim Community:

The Interfaith Council of Greater Sacramento expresses its deepest sympathy to our Muslim community in Sacramento and New Zealand where the shooting took place in a Mosque for the senseless loss of their loved ones. May God give them comfort and peace during this hard time. 

Our prayers and condolences go to the families, and may God let their soul rest in peace.

Best regards,
ICGS Board
