TCCB statement on George Floyd

The Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops offers our prayers for George Floyd, his family and friends, and all those affected by his killing and the events that followed in Minnesota. As the U.S bishopsĀ stated in their recent pastoral letter, ā€œOpen Wide Our Hearts,ā€ the injustice and harm racism causes are an attack on the dignity of human life. We pray for the Holy Spiritā€™s guidance as we approach this season of Pentecost in order to work toward a society where justice, peace, and charity may be shared with all of Godā€™s children.
