Statement from Bishop Edward C. Malesic on death of George Floyd
Like most people, I too was shocked and saddened by the brutal treatment and death of Mr. George Floyd and join the call for an end to racism. On this Feast of Pentecost, we hear Jesus tell his disciples, “Peace be with you.” We also recall the words of Pope Paul VI, “If you want peace, work for justice.” I support peaceful means to make our voices heard in working to secure justice and peace for all people of all races, colors and creeds.
The joint statement of several bishops, with whom I stand in agreement, is here.
