Today, we extend our most heartfelt prayers to our neighbors and friends affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles County. We pray for strength for our entire Southern California community during these difficult times. Yet we are united in spirit, praying for the repose of the souls who have tragically lost their lives.

We pray for the healing of the injured, comfort for those who have lost homes and businesses, and relief for the displaced.

We express our deepest gratitude for the brave first responders whose dedication and courage safeguard lives and property. We pray for their continued safety.

To all, may God’s grace and mercy bring peace and restoration.

With prayerful solidarity,

Bishop Kevin Vann
