Our hearts and hands join with Annunciation Catholic School - Minneapolis, MN, with the families of Fletcher Merkel and Harper Moyski, with the injured children and parishioners, and with all those who are suffering. We have been so moved by the overwhelming number of you asking for ways you can help. In this moment of grief, we believe it is important to stand as one and provide help as one. As such, we invite all who follow and support our individual missions to give to those affected by making a donation to the Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund: https://secure.myvanco.com/L-ZM37/campaign/C-1619X?access=tile_direct In coordination with the leadership of the Annunciation community, we will work together to channel the community’s contributions through this fund, administered so generously by the Catholic Community Foundation of Minnesota. Please consider making a gift and sharing the availability of this fund with others. At this time, the Annunciation community asks that you focus your support through prayer and financial contributions rather than other, non-monetary means.

CCF announces the Annunciation Hope and Healing Fund. Your gift to the fund will provide financial support to the Church of the Annunciation for the needs of the church and school and enable them to provide support to those affected by the tragedy. As Principal DeBoer implored us, "'When you pray, move your feet.' ... Please pray, but don't stop with your words. Let's make a difference and support this community, these children, these families, these teachers." (fb)
