This Lent, supporters of Nuns Against Gun Violence have pledged to fast for an end to gun violence. To date, more than 175 participants have pledged to offer their personal sacrifice and prayer for a more peaceful society.
“As Catholics, our faith calls us to protect life, and yet our country continues to be plagued with an epidemic of gun violence,” said Mary Ann McGivern, a Sister of Loretto and one of the organizers of the fast. “Our fast will be a prayer to God and an opportunity to publicly appeal to our civic communities for action to reduce gun violence.”
