Pray for Perry

by Diocese of Des Moines | January 4, 2024

Today we learned of a school shooting in our community of Perry, Iowa. We call on all people of good will to pause and pray for the children, the parents, the educators, the first responders, the medical staff and the entire community of Perry. May God’s Spirit be with those directly affected by today’s tragic event and with all of us on this day of deep anguish and grief.
