WASHINGTON (CNS) Like many across the country, Father William Gurnee and Father Gary Studniewski watched in horror as a rioting mob stormed and ransacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, attempting to disrupt Congress at it certified the Electoral College vote of President-elect Joe Biden.
But for those two priests, the attack hit particularly close to home, because they serve as pastors of Capitol Hill parishes in Washington. Father Gurnee leads St. Joseph s Parish on the Northeast side of Capitol Hill and Father Studniewski leads St. Peter s Parish on the Southeast side. Members of Congress and Capitol Hill staff members who had to be rushed to safety during the attack attend Mass at those two churches as do Capitol Hill police officers and those who live and work in the neighborhood.
