Dear Parishioners:
The assassination attempt on former President Trump is a stark reminder of the fragility of human life and the dangers of letting anger and division fester. Violence and hatred have no place in our society. This act of violence against Mr. Trump is profoundly troubling and stands against the core principles of our faith. In times of turmoil, we must turn to our faith for guidance. I call upon everyone to denounce such acts and instead embrace peace and reconciliation.
Please join me in praying for Mr. Trump and his family, for the soul of Corey Comperatore, who lost his life as a result of this horrific act, and for those injured that day so that they may have steady and speedy recoveries. I ask you to also pray for the soul of Thomas Matthew Crooks, so that he finds his way to God’s eternal mercy and reconciliation. Finally, I urge you to remember Jesus’ teachings of compassion and love and to pray for peace and understanding among all people as we seek ways to heal and unite our divided nation.
In Christ,
Father Mark Suslenko, Pastor
SS. Isidore and Maria Parish
