Yesterday, the Diocese of Arlington was informed that a
construction worker passed away from injuries sustained following an accident
at the construction site for the new Paul VI Catholic High School campus.
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge offers the following remarks:
“I ask all in the Diocese of Arlington to please keep in
prayer the soul of the man who passed away while working on Paul VI High
School’s new campus, as well as for his family and friends. At this time of
mourning and sorrow, there are no words that can fully express our sadness.
With hope in the Resurrection, we entrust all who pass away to the arms of a
loving and merciful God.”
Diocesan staff was on site yesterday evening, offering
support to the workers and contractor. Opportunities for group prayer will be
coordinated between the Paul VI Catholic High School chaplain and the
contractor and site workers.
