Bishop Weisenburger: Prayers for Constable Deborah Martinez-Garibay

The tragic killing of Constable Deborah Martinez-Garibay yesterday is a painful reminder of the risks undertaken daily by those in law enforcement. These brave men and women deserve our prayers and our support as we stand in solidarity with them.  

I ask the faithful of our Diocese to lift up in prayer Constable Martinez along with her family, friends, coworkers, and all those who loved her. I ask for prayer also for the other victims who died at the scene. Their families and loved ones now enter into a time of profound grief. May they all know the fullness of life.

Lastly, I ask the faithful to pray for all who serve in law enforcement or as emergency responders. May they be protected from all harm and return home safely to their loved ones at the end of each day.

Diocese of Tucson
