The Orthodox Union joins with our Catholic brothers and sisters, the city of Minneapolis, and all Americans in mourning the victims of the horrifying attack at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.
We must pause and consider the multiple dimensions of this epic tragedy. The hopeful anticipation and excitement of the beginning of the school year for the children, the family, and the school community, was destroyed today in the senseless and intentional murder of school children engaged in worship. This was a monstrous assault on life, faith, and hope.
Our hearts are broken but our resolve is strong to stand together against hate.
