In response to this weekend’s punitive assault against Syrian forces, Justice Promoter Sr. Barb Kane, OP, has issued this statement: The Dominican Sisters of Peace strongly condemn the recent bombing in Syria by US and coalition forces. We protest the immoral death and injury of innocent children and adults who have suffered from the effects of chemical weapons. We urge diplomatic solutions to permanently end this conflict that strangles the people of Syria. The Syrian government demonstrates no concern for its own people and we call on the US government to do more to move President Assad to bring about a peaceful resolution to this war.

We ask that all Sisters, Associates and friends pray for a peaceful resolution for the people of Syria.
