"I call upon our community to join together in prayer for the victims of the outrageous and tragic crimes committed in Paris. We condemn categorically these horrendous, hateful acts of violence. Wanton attacks against innocent persons will not strip us of our God-given dignity.They remind us of the need to continually increase our outreach to each other, to those who suffer.

Our prayers and expressions of heartfelt sympathy extend to those who have been killed and injured, to their families and friends, as well as to those who are traumatised by this violence.We strengthen our resolve in the Holy Spirit to be persons of peace, justice, and reconciliation. We are in solidarity with the victims and with all people of good will who come together to stand up to this attempt to terrorise and dispirit the people of the world".
