1. Pardon the late notice, but I trust that you were able to read of my acceptance of Mayor Barrett's [Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett's] invitation that we offer special prayers at all our parishes in the community this weekend for a restoration of peace, respect for life, and protection of our homes, neighborhoods and streets through an end to violence and murder in our community. I ask each of you to do what you can to see that prayers are offered for this noble intention this weekend, and that some reference might be made to this cause in our homilies. The Mayor is convinced that the churches have a major part to play in this effort ... and I think we all agree.
Archbishop Dolan also expressed hope for this deadly trend."Thank God we have not grown used to it," he wrote. "Thank God we still can muster a sense of horror, of shame, of outrage. Thank God thoughtful people are beginning to say this simply cannot continue."
