Just hours after a shooter opened fire through the windows of a Catholic church in Minneapolis, the pain echoed throughout the community.
Hundreds gathered in a nearby school gym, holding one another tightly, wiping away tears, and searching for solace in shared grief.

These vigils have become all too routine in America — sacred spaces violated, families shattered, and communities left clinging to hope and each other.

We must honor the victims not only with our prayers, but with our commitment to act. Every life lost is a call to do better — to demand safety, accountability, and change.
