Students at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis created cards and acts of service to mark the school’s feast day as part of healing after an August mass shooting that killed two students and injured nearly two dozen. Archbishop Bernard Hebda personally delivered the students' cards and a centennial button to Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, and said the Pope promised prayers for the families and the Archdiocese.
