Bishop Provenzano's Statement following the Derek Chauvin Verdict
Please watch the video statement given by the Rt. Rev. Lawrence Provenzano, Bishop of Long Island, after the guilty verdict was announced in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. In his statement, our Bishop asks us to pray for George Floyd's family and the communities ripped apart by racism and violence around the country, and he reminds us to recommit to our fight for social justice and peace -- not just in words -- but also in our actions.

Parish Prayer Concerns
For reconciliation in our nation between police, communities, and all who see the “other” as an enemy; and for persistence in addressing and rooting out systemic racism. That we may make the life and teachings of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, the very cornerstone of our lives. That we may be good stewards of the earth and all of God’s creatures. For those who suffer from COVID-19, and those who care for them. For those for whom prayers have been requested, especially, The Rev. Canon Glenworth Miles & family & the people of St. George’s Church, Brooklyn; the Rev. John Musco; Lenore; Bill C,; Cynthia; Kahdijah; Roger; Bill F.; Anne, Moe & family; Mercedes; Jean; Sybil; Mary; Dolores; Theo & family; Elaine; David; Ron & Betsy. For those who have died, and those who mourn.
