Minnesota Church Shooting: Community Prays for Sophia
Faith Facts
- Sophia Forchas, a 12-year-old, remains hospitalized in critical condition after being shot during prayer at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis.
- The attack has already claimed the lives of two other students and left several injured; only Sophia remains in the hospital.
- Her father has called for continued prayer, expressing gratitude for the medical team and faith in God’s providence.
As believers, we mourn the violence suffered by children gathered in prayer and cling to hope through fervent faith. This tragedy reminds us to cover our families and communities in prayer, seeking God’s healing and comfort in times of deepest sorrow.
Neurologists describe Sophia’s survival as miraculous yet uncertain, but faith tells us that with God, all things are possible. Let us stand united, asking the Lord for her recovery and for peace to fill the hearts of all affected families.
“Continue to pray for Sophia, pray for peace. Pray with vigor. We need you to keep the fervor with which you are praying and when you pray, move your feet.”
Christians everywhere are encouraged to lift up the Forchas family, trust in God’s restorative power, and shine Christ’s love into a hurting world.
