We rightly expect that a church should be a place of sanctuary and peace. What should have been a joyful celebration for Catholic school students to begin a new school year has become the latest tragedy that we now struggle to comprehend. Together with Catholics across the Diocese of Fall River, I mourn the innocent lives lost and pray for healing for all those affected\u2014students, families, educators, and the entire community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This afternoon, I sent an email to all our parishes, reminding them of the importance of being proactive in ensuring the safety of parishioners and with schools, their students, faculty, and families. I shared that while faith is our foundation, preparedness is a form of stewardship. To help them prepare, the communications included parish safety and security guidance provided to us by our insurance company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May God bring comfort to those grieving, strength to those recovering, and peace to a community shaken by violence. Let us pray for the safety of all children and school faculty and staff around the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bishop da Cunha has issued a statement on the shooting
