In the wake of yet two more mass shootings in the United States within 24 hours, the leadership of the Society of the Sacred Heart in the United States – Canada Province joins its voice with the families of these massacres, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) and people of good will from all faiths, who are demanding an end to the legislative paralysis that prevents common sense gun control from being enacted in this country.
As an organization committed to “revealing God’s love in the heart of the world,” we struggle to reconcile this senseless loss of life. We need to seek brave and compassionate solutions to mend the brokenness that causes such violence.
