Honoring the victims and survivors of the mass shooting at Annunciation 
         Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Whereas, on August 27, 2025, students and parishioners gathered at Annunciation 
        Catholic Church in Minneapolis for a mass to welcome back students on 
        their first week of school;
Whereas their sense of peace was shattered when a shooter opened fire while they 
        were in prayer, killing 2 children and injuring 21 others;
Whereas first responders, including the Minneapolis Police Department, emergency 
        medical teams and caregivers at the Children's Minnesota Hospital and 
        Hennepin Healthcare System, and Federal law enforcement, community 
        members, and volunteers responded with courage and compassion; and
Whereas the Annunciation Catholic community, local schools, families, and 
        neighbors have shown strength and resilience in the face of this 
        tragedy: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns this senseless act of violence and offers its 
        condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and 
        injured in the tragedy;
            (2) honors the memory of the victims and stands in 
        solidarity with survivors, the Catholic community, and the 
        broader Minneapolis community;
            (3) commends the bravery and service of law enforcement, 
        first responders, medical caregivers, school and church staff, 
        and community members who acted swiftly to protect and help 
        others;
            (4) stands with the Annunciation community and all 
        Minnesotans in the face of this terrible tragedy;
            (5) expresses hope that the Annunciation community, 
        together with other communities scarred by violence across the 
        country, will heal through unity, compassion, and shared faith;
            (6) declares that there is no place for violence in our 
        communities, and that everyone deserves to feel safe in their 
        sacred places of worship and schools; and
            (7) expresses solidarity with all faith communities and 
        schools that have been scarred by such violence.
