We are deeply saddened by the shooting that occurred at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison and mourn for the victims of this horrible act of violence. We stand united with the Abundant Life family and pray for healing for those who are injured and comfort for the families who are facing the heartbreaking loss of a loved one. In these days leading up to Christmas, may the peace, love, and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ be an anchor for all those affected.

From the Wisconsin Catholic Bishops: "We as bishops of Wisconsin wholeheartedly support Archbishop Jerome Listecki’s Petition to Intervene at the Wisconsin Supreme Court to protect children from abortion. On July 2, the Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear a case from Planned Parenthood that seeks to find a constitutional right to abortion within the Wisconsin Constitution, an outcome which threatens the lives of countless unborn children in our state. On July 16, the Archbishop of Milwaukee took action to defend these children, the most vulnerable persons at the heart of this case."
