Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda told media Aug. 27 that prayers offered from around the United States and world, including from Pope Leo XIV, have been “a source of hope” following that morning’s mass shooting during Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that left two children dead and 17 other victims injured.
“Brothers and sisters, we have to be men and women of hope,” he said. “It’s through prayer and that ‘prayer of the feet’ — through action — that we can indeed make a difference.”

Speaking as the church bells tolled, Archbishop Hebda noted that "the bell in a Catholic church is always a call to prayer. ... It's a reminder to be praying."
