“Each day I open the newspaper and see the names of far too many people who have died as result of drug addiction,” Bishop Zubik said. “They are mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, granddaughters and grandsons, sisters and brothers and friends. We have a responsibility – on our own and as communities of faith – to pray for all who have struggled or who are struggling with addiction and for their loved ones who suffer with them.”
