Fr. Kenneth Walker, FSSP, 29, was shot to death by an unknown killer who also assaulted another priest, Fr. Joseph Terra, 56, who is in critical condition.
Fr. Terra was able to give Fr. Walker absolution.
The news coverage is strong in Phoenix and my contacts there tell me that the community is shaken. The FSSP parish seems to be a really “smell of the sheep” place, in a poor area of Phoenix. The priests were highly regarded.
And, as you may know, traditional Catholics tend to be strongly knit.
LEOs say that they have good physical evidence.
Also, I am told by my contacts say that the Diocese of Phoenix is also really stepping up.
HERE for several videos including clips from the press conference.
Please do keep them in your prayers.
While horrible, I sense that God will do something good with this.
