From the St. Louis Archdiocesan Task Force On Gun Violence Prevention:
JUNE IS NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. Every day, more than 300 people are directly impacted by gun violence in the United States. Gun Violence Awareness Month was created to draw attention to this tragic reality and demand life-saving change. The St. Louis Archdiocese honors this month with a weekly series of bulletin articles.

On M*A*S*H, Charles Emerson Winchester once famously said, “I do one thing at a time, I do it very well, and then I move on.” May I suggest that we all make sure that, at every liturgy, the fraction rite doesn’t become a side note to a lingering sign of peace?
