Archbishop Malcolm McMahon of the Archdiocese of Liverpool urged Catholics to join him in prayer for the victims of a stabbing attack at a children’s dance class in Southport, England, which left three young girls dead and nearly a dozen people injured.
“For those who have been injured, for those who are parents, family, and friends of the injured, for all involved in the emergency services, we pray for God’s blessing, God’s peace, and God’s presence today,” McMahon said in a statement on Monday, July 29, after the attack.
“Let us commend all to the loving intercession of Our Lady, Comforter of the Afflicted as we pray for peace, healing, and justice,” the archbishop said. “My prayers are with you.”
Three children — 6-year-old Bebe King, 7-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, and 9-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar — died in the stabbing attack, which occurred at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the northwest English town, according to Merseyside police. Law enforcement arrested a 17-year-old male in connection with the stabbing but have not yet determined a motive.
