Bishop Larry Silva sent this message Oct. 2 to Bishop Joseph Pepe of Las Vegas:
Peace be with you! So many souls were deprived of peace when a gunman killed them, injured them, or shocked their families and friends with the senseless shooting on Sunday night. Please assure them of my prayers and those of all the people of the Diocese of Honolulu. May the deceased rest in peace, the injured and traumatized be granted peace of heart, and may the peace only Jesus can give reign in our nation and world.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Larry Silva
Bishop of Honolulu
