May 20, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – On behalf of the Adrian Dominican Sisters and Associates, the Adrian Dominican Sisters General Council issued the following statement in response to the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We Adrian Dominican Sisters stand with Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde and Rabbi Susan Shankman in expressing our horror at the May 18 attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego. We extend our prayers and condolences to those who lost loved ones. This past year, there have been violent attacks on Catholic, Latter-day Saint, Jewish, and Muslim houses of prayer. As women of faith, we join Bishop Budde and Rabbi Shankman in saying, “An attack on one community’s sanctuary wounds us all.” We join them in working “to promote and protect each faith tradition’s rightful place among us."
# # # Members of the Adrian Dominican Sisters General Council are Sisters Elise D. García, OP, Prioress; Frances Nadolny, OP, General Councilor; Lorraine Réaume, OP, Vicaress and General Councilor; and Corinne Sanders, OP, General Councilor.
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood, NY stand with the Adrian Dominican Sisters in support of Bishop Budde, Rabbi Shankman and all at the Islamic Center in San Diego in expressing our horror at the violence experienced there on May 18th. We pray for the healing of our country and an end to violence everywhere, particularly when violence is visited on the most helpless among us.
