Dominican Friars Statement about Brown University Shooting

The Dominican Friars of the Province of Saint Joseph mourn the deaths of two Brown University students on Saturday. We also pray for the speedy recovery of all those wounded by this attack.

As campus ministers for Brown University, we feel this attack acutely, and entrust the University and Providence, Rhode Island, communities to the maternal care of Our Lady of Sorrows.

May the God of all consolation be with the families and friends of the deceased and grant healing and peace to all affected by this shooting.

The Dominican friars are called to preach the Gospel in every age and in every place it is needed. Through preaching, teaching, pastoral ministry, and the formation of new friars, they work to bring the truth of Christ to a world searching for meaning and hope.

Reflections like this one are made possible because of the faithful support of friends like you. Your generosity helps sustain the friars in their mission to proclaim the Gospel, serve the Church, and form future preachers of the faith.

Support the preaching mission of the Dominican friars and help ensure that the light of the Gospel continues to reach hearts for generations to come.
