Statement from Bishop Patrick on the Manchester Synagogue attack

I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear of the vicious attack, on this most holiest of days in the Jewish calendar, outside the Manchester Synagogue which resulted in deaths, injuries and such deep distress upon those gathering there for prayer.

On behalf of Catholics throughout the Diocese of Nottingham, I pledge our prayerful support for all families affected and for all our Jewish brothers and sisters at this most difficult of times.
