Archbishop calls for calm, healing amid grieving La Loche community
The archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Keewatin–Le Pas told a packed La Loche church Sunday morning that now is the time for the community to remain united and work towards healing in the face of tragedy.
Pews were packed to near bursting in the religious community as residents came to find comfort, community and mourn the loss of two brothers and two teachers who were killed Friday.
Brothers Danye, 17, and Drayden, 13, Fontaine, were killed in a home on Dene Crescent, while teacher Adam Wood, 35, and educational assistant Marie Janvier, 21, were shot to death at Dene high school.
A 17-year-old boy was arrested by police in the school and will be in court Monday on first degree murder, attempted murder and firearms related charges.
