Prayers for AA Flight 5342

The news of the tragic plane crash near Washington D.C., involving an American Airlines flight from Wichita and a military helicopter, is deeply saddening. My heart, and the hearts of the faithful of the Diocese of Wichita, go out to the families and loved ones of all those lost in this devastating accident. We pray for the souls of those who perished, including the brave members of our military, the passengers, and the crew. We also pray for comfort and strength for those who mourn, and for the first responders and recovery teams as they continue their difficult work. I encourage all to pray for those affected by this tragedy. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.
The Most Reverend Carl A. Kemme
Bishop of Wichita
