Archbishop Miller's Statement on the Lapu-Lapu Filipino Festival Tragedy
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ:
I was deeply saddened to hear of the tragic events that took place yesterday during the Lapu-Lapu Day celebration in Vancouver. What should have been a joyful gathering to honour Filipino heritage has been overshadowed by sorrow and shock.
The Filipino community is a vibrant and faith-filled part of our Archdiocese. In moments like this, your spirit of hope, resilience, and deep trust in God’s providence shines even amid darkness. I encourage all of us to come together in prayer, asking the Lord to pour out his mercy upon those affected and to grant strength to all who are carrying heavy hearts.
May our Blessed Mother intercede for us, bringing comfort and healing to Vancouver.
+ J. Michael Miller, CSBApostolic Administrator
