Bishop asks for prayers for Fairfield Prep Community

At this most troubling and distressing moment I would like to send my condolences to the McGrath family, and I urge all across the diocese to unite in prayer for the McGrath family, for members of the Fairfield Prep community, and for all those affected by this sudden loss and unthinkable tragedy. The incident is under investigation, and there is much we do not know about the circumstances. However, we do know it has left a deep and lasting trauma for the families and for the Fairfield Prep students and many others who must  deal with their grief and shock in the coming days.  They will need much prayerful support and guidance to move forward. Though we are shattered by this heartbreaking news, now is the time to be strong in our faith and resolve to lift up all in our prayers and our compassion.
