We are praying for peace in Sacramento. Our deepest condolences go out to the families and friends that lost a loved one and those traumatized by the mass shooting that happened in Downtown Sacramento on 4/3/22. Our community is grieving and gun violence continues to be a crisis in this country. Please view our Resources below or on our Resource page for mental health and counseling resources.
