CATHOLIC MINISTRY HOLDS PRAYER SERVICE AT SITES OF SAN FRANCISCO HOMICIDES

Father Dan Nascimento, a Priest from the St. Brendan Parish church based in San Francisco, held a prayer service this Thursday at the location of a recent fatal shooting.

Julio Escobar, a coordinator for the archdioceses Restorative Justice Ministry stated, the service is part of an ongoing series of prayer meetings organized by the ministry at sites of homicides in San Francisco.

“This is part of our faith,” Escobar said. “Our faith causes us to deal with the dead. Also, our ministries deal with the family members of the dead.”

Escobar also goes on to say “We want to create a support ministry for both victims family members and family members of those who are incarcerated,”
