Statement
I am deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic news of the death of a mother and two children near Maguiresbridge yesterday. While we do not know all the circumstances surrounding this tragedy, I am very aware that the news is causing deep distress in the community of Co Fermanagh and beyond.
I assure the family of the deceased, and everyone affected by this tragedy, of my prayers and assure them of the prayerful support of the wider community.
As Christians, we are people of faith-filled hope. This hope, rooted in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, teaches us that light will always overcome the power of darkness; evil will not have the final say. With such thoughts, let us pray that those who mourn and are in pain will know the consolation and love of God in these days and always.
