Statement Regarding Deadly Shooting at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis

From Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda

I am so grateful for the many promises of prayers that have been coming in from the Holy Father, Pope Leo, and from so many from all around the globe, all praying for the families of Annunciation Parish and School and for all who were impacted by this morning’s senseless violence.

I beg for the continued prayers of all of the priests and faithful of this Archdiocese, as well for the prayers of all men and women of good will, that the healing that only God can bring will be poured out on all those who were present at this morning’s Mass and particularly for the affected families who are only now beginning to comprehend the trauma they sustained. We lift up the souls of those who lost their lives to our loving God through the intercession of Our Lady, Queen of Peace.

My heart is broken as I think about students, teachers, clergy and parishioners and the horror they witnessed in a Church, a place where we should feel safe.

That today’s tragedy occurred only a day after the tragic shooting near Christo Rey High School increases the sadness about the pain and anger that is present in our communities. We need an end to gun violence. Our community is rightfully outraged at such horrific acts of violence perpetrated against the vulnerable and innocent. They are far too commonplace. While we need to commit to working to prevent the recurrence of such tragedies, we also need to remind ourselves that we have a God of peace and of love, and that it is his love that we will need most as we strive to embrace those who are hurting so deeply.

Members of the Archdiocesan staff are working with the parish and school teams to make sure they have the support and resources they need at this time and beyond.

All are invited for a prayer service this evening at 7 p.m. at the Academy of Holy Angels, 6600 Nicollet Ave, in Richfield.

Our Lady, Queen of Sorrows, pray for us.

Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund

In response to the mass shooting at the Church of the Annunciation during the all-school Mass on August 27, 2025, the Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota (CCF) has established the Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund.

The Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund is a charitable fund at CCF that will provide financial support to the Church of the Annunciation for the needs of the church and school, as well as support to those affected by the tragedy.

“We know there will be an outpouring of support for the Annunciation community,” says CCF President Anne Cullen Miller. “And that comes with a heavy administrative burden. By creating the Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund, CCF takes on the work of processing and acknowledging gifts, freeing parish staff to focus on what matters most right now: its mission and ministries.”

CCF will receive, process, and steward gifts to the fund without an administrative fee. Then, we’ll disburse larger grants to the Church of the Annunciation to use for the purpose of supporting its community. Grants may also be distributed to support broader needs in the Catholic community that arise in connection with or as a result of this tragedy, as determined by the CCF Board of Directors in collaboration with Annunciation Church and School leadership.
