About Gun Violence Prevention to Protect Communities
On Feb. 18, Fr. Terry Keehan, pastor of Holy Family Catholic Community in Inverness, Ill., invited Phil Andrew, our director of Violence Prevention Initiatives, to speak about gun violence prevention.
Fr. Terry Keehan spoke of the shooting in Parkland, FL and the shooting of Cmdr. Bauer in Chicago and how these mass shootings are a societal problem. Which challenges us, as Catholic Men and a Vatican II people, to live out the commission that the church should transform the world.
In the midst of things like violence, we are called to be people of hope. Let's emphasize choosing, walking, and building Peaceful Pathways to address things that might lead people to violence.
At the video above, Phil Andrew, former lawyer and FBI agent, who leads the Archdiocese of Chicago's Anti-Violence Initiative, spoke on how we can protect communities.
