Statement of Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R. on the Shooting in Butler County, Pa.

I invite the faithful of the Archdiocese of Newark and all people of good will to join me in praying for the recovery of former President Donald Trump and all victims of the shooting in Butler County, Pennsylvania. May the family of the deceased and wounded find consolation and hope, and may this outrage lead us, as Americans, to denounce all forms of political and gun violence and the rhetoric that incites it. Mary Immaculate, Mother of God and Patroness of the United States of America, pray for us.
