On May 31, we along with the faithful of both of our dioceses mourned the loss of life that was so tragically taken in the shootings that occurred at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center. We continue to keep in prayer: Laquita Brown, Tara Gallagher, Mary Louise Gayle, Alexander Gusev, Katherine Nixon, Richard Nettleton, Christopher Rapp, Ryan Cox, Joshua Hardy, Michelle “Missy” Langer, Robert “Bobby” Williams and Herbert “Bert” Snelling. We also continue to pray for their families, those injured, their co-workers and those who provide assistance within the community.

In unity with Bishop Barry Knestout of the
Diocese of Richmond, I ask all Catholics and people of good will to join me in
prayer for those who lost their lives in Virginia Beach earlier today as a
result of yet another mass shooting.
