• The Diocese of Laredo, under the pastoral leadership of Bishop James A.
      Tamayo, stands in deep solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and with the Annunciation Catholic School community, in the wake of the tragic events that unfolded this morning during their back-to-school Mass.

      We are heartbroken by this senseless act of violence and embrace in a spirit of faith and compassion all the students, families, teachers, clergy, and staff who were present, as well as all who have been shaken by this tragedy. Please know that we hold you close in our hearts and remain united with you in prayer and support during this time of grief.

      Together with Bishop Tamayo and the faithful of our diocese, we entrust you to the healing love of Jesus and the tender care of our Blessed Mother, asking the Lord to bring comfort, peace, and strength to your community.
