Pray for Peace

St. Mary’s Basilica, Phoenix August 23, 2017: Friars, parish community and Phoenix Urban Health Collective helped provide water and treatment to those suffering from the heat, tear gas and pepper spray during yesterday’s Trump rally at the Phoenix Convention Center. The basilica’s community served as a safety zone and peaceful presence. Some tear gas got into the friary and our friars are still recovering from the burning sensation in their eyes, nose and throat. Please keep praying for them, for Phoenix, and for our country.
