Diocese of Ondo in Nigeria Releases Statement Regarding Church Shooting | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In Nigeria, victims from Sunday's deadly church attack received hospital treatment as survivors described what took place. Worshippers say gunmen were both inside and outside the church during Mass in an apparent coordinated attack which included explosives. At least 50 people were killed, many of the injured were children. Those responsible have not yet been identified. The Diocese of Ondo has only confirmed 38 people dead, but news outlets had reported up to 50 people had died. Director of Outreach for Aid to the Church in Need in the US, Edward Clancy, joins to give us an update on the attack. The Diocese of Ondo released a statement about the attack, saying in part "As a Church, we are so grieved by this gruesome murder and we condemn this evil meted on our brothers and sisters who have only come to worship God... It is quite disheartening and embarrassing that these unnecessary killings, kidnappings and other atrocities are now done with impunity on a daily basis." Clancy shares his thoughts on that and what the diocese is doing for those who were killed in the attack. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
