President A. Gabriel Esteban told the DePaul community in an email regarding the Capitol breach Wednesday night.
‘Today’s unprecedented events in the nation’s capital reveal just how precious and fragile our democracy actually is,” Esteban wrote in the email. “The shocking scenes provide a disturbing portrait of division and distressing outcomes of a nation at risk of being torn apart.”
“We pray that peace is restored to Washington, D.C., and ask our own community for calm and patience as the events continue to unfold,” he continued. “We pray and commit to protect and defend the gift of democracy. We pray for a peaceful transition of power. As our patron Vincent de Paul advocated for peace and non-violence, so do we pray and work for the resilience of peace, democracy and hope”
