Archbishop Gregory Aymond
Last night, I had the solemn honor and privilege of joining with area interfaith clergy and representatives to welcome President Joe Biden, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Governor Jeff Landry and his wife Sharon Landry, Mayor Latoya Cantrell and many other civic officials to St. Louis Cathedral to pray for our community in the aftermath of the New Year's Day terrorist attack. We mourned those who lost their lives and honored them with a memorial, prayed for healing for those who were injured, and prayed for first responders and medical professionals serving them and all of us. Today we continue to pray and place our faith, hope, and trust in the love and mercy of our Lord. It was a moving service and one truly representative of our community. I am grateful to all who worked to put this service together and truly honored and humbled that the President chose to spend the evening with us in prayer. As we sang together in parting last night, "let there be peace in our earth!"
