Re: Statement on the Rise in Asian and Asian- American Racism and Violence

At Villanova Prep, we mourn the deaths of eight innocent people killed in Atlanta and are deeply saddened by the incomprehensible attacks directed toward Asians and Asian-Americans in the United States and in the world. We stand together in support of our Asian brothers and sisters and will continue to pray for an end to the sin of racism and hate in our country.
