This apparel is for everyone struggling to process this awful event: the friends and family of the victims, the residents of Grand Blanc and surrounding areas, the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints everywhere, and all compassionate people who believe that a place of worship should be a sanctuary, not a war zone.

What does ‘Pray For’ mean when a motive isn’t even clear yet?
The act of ‘praying’ or sending support is about healing and comfort, not about finding answers or assigning blame. Whether a motive is ever determined, the pain, the loss, and the recovery journey for the victims and survivors is real and immediate. The ‘Pray For’ message transcends the investigation. It is a focus on the human costβthe individuals killed, the injured being treated, the congregants who witnessed the horror, and the first responders who ran toward the danger. It is an appeal for peace, strength, and resilience in the face of the ultimate evil.
