“In a conversation with a parishioner on Monday morning, we spoke about how we might remember those who died in Orlando, those who were wounded and injured, their families and friends, the first responders – and indeed our whole nation, once again struck with the tragedy of terrorism.

In addition to praying at Mass this coming weekend for the victims, their loved ones and the nation, we’ll gather on the Green in Concord center on this Saturday, right after the5:00 Mass. There hasn’t been much time for publicity but we’re trying to get the word out to other religious communities in town to make this an interfaith moment. All will be welcome – please join us in praying for peace.
