The parish of St. Andrew Orthodox Church, Lyndora, extends its thoughts, prayers and sympathy to the Pittsburgh Jewish community suffering from this senseless act of terror that has visited them while peacefully worshipping today.

And in addition we feel in the same manner towards the police who suffered in the line of duty and to their families we feel your pain and unnecessary suffering. Thank you for being who you are to guard and protect.

“May Yahweh bless you and keep you. May Yahweh let his face shine on you and be gracious to you. May Yahweh show you his face and bring you peace." (Nu. 6:24-26) {The New Jerusalem Bible}
