Candle Light Prayer Vigil

Dear Xavier Community,

In the wake of the tragic terrorist attack that occurred on Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day, we extend our deepest condolences to all who have been affected. Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of innocent lives and the injuries sustained by so many in our beloved city of New Orleans.

As a community rooted in faith, service, and justice, we call upon the Xavier family to come together during this time of sorrow to support one another and to pray for healing and peace. We stand united in rejecting acts of violence and hatred, and we reaffirm our commitment to being agents of change and reconciliation in a world that so desperately needs both.

To our students, faculty, staff, and alumni: please know that we are here to support you. The Office of Campus Ministry will host a candlelight prayer vigil Wednesday, January 15 at 5:00 PM in front of the St. Katharine Drexel Chapel to honor the victims, their families, and the first responders who bravely served in the aftermath of this tragedy. We invite everyone to join us in solidarity and reflection.

Additionally, counseling and pastoral care services are available for anyone in need. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the Counseling Center or the Campus Ministry office for support.

Let us remember the words of St. Katharine Drexel:

"Peacefully do at each moment what at the moment ought to be done."

Together, we can work toward peace and justice by supporting one another and living out our shared values. May we find strength in our unity and hope in our faith as we move forward.

In peace and prayer,

The Office of Campus Ministry Staff
