The Diocese of Saginaw offers our heartfelt prayers and support to the families and the entire community of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Church in Grand Blanc, Michigan. I am deeply saddened by the senseless violence by this tragic shooting. People of all faiths should have every opportunity to worship without fear of violence. Even as we pray for those whose lives were taken today, I also ask that our prayer be matched by firm resolve to find a way to end the violence throughout our country. We owe it to the future of our nation - our families, our neighbors, and our communities.
