Morning the loss of lives, in the horrific massacre over the weekend, dozens came together at St Aloysius Parish in downtown Detroit for a special service.
They prayed for the victims in Orlando, their families, and all of those affected by the senseless violent acts.
The group also prayed that the hate that provokes attacks like what happened in Florida will end soon.
“Whenever there is a senseless death, the human family is being attacked and we need to remind people that there is hope and that it needs to stop,” said Monsignor Timothy Hogan with the Archdiocese of Detroit. “That we are all in this together. We are brothers and sisters. No matter what our faith group. No matter what our opinions are.”
Those who attended the service say will continue to pray for all of those affected by the tragedy.
