The following is a statement from Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, on the tragic events that took place April 15, 2013 at the Boston Marathon:
“The prayers of the Notre Dame community are with those who lost their lives and were injured, as well as with their families and friends, in the bombing Monday in Boston. Such tragic events have become all too common in our world, and yet I call upon all to avoid treating them as routine, but instead to lift up those who are suffering.”
