Pray for Minneapolis Church Shooting Victims
Join the Diocese of Orange in Offering a “Spiritual Bouquet” for the Annunciation Church Community.
This tragedy has shaken our entire country’s Catholic community, leaving many of our faithful feeling deeply vulnerable and in need of reassurance.
Here in the Diocese of Orange, we are united in grief but also in hope, sending goodwill and solidarity to the Annunciation community, the victims, their families, and all who are suffering from this heartbreaking act.
Together, we can bring the light of Christ into this darkness. We invite you to join us in offering a spiritual bouquet for the Minneapolis victims, entrusting them to God’s mercy and surrounding their loved ones with our prayerful support.
What is a Spiritual Bouquet?
A spiritual bouquet is a collective offering of prayers – symbolized as “flowers” – that the faithful present together as a sign of love, support, and intercession.
It is a way for our diocesan community to join spiritually, uniting our prayers as a gift for the victims of the Annunciation Church shooting.
