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

Whereas, on August 27, 2025, congregants gathered at the Annunciation Catholic 
        Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a mass to welcome back students 
        for 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 members of the Minneapolis Police 
        Department, emergency medical teams, hospital staff, and Federal law 
        enforcement officers, community members, and volunteers responded with 
        courage and compassion; and
Whereas the Annunciation Catholic Church and School community, local schools, 
        families, and neighbors have shown strength and resilience in the face 
        of this tragedy: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (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, school and church staff, and community 
        members who acted swiftly to protect and help others;
            (4) stands with the Annunciation Catholic Church and School 
        community and all Minnesotans in the face of this terrible 
        tragedy;
            (5) expresses hope that the Annunciation community, 
        together with other communities scarred by gun 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.
