"Mary knows the sorrow of any parent who has ever lost a child, and she stands in solidarity with all who seek justice," the church's lead pastor, Rev. Karen Clark Ristine said in a Facebook post.
Daily Bulletin reported that a statement near the display says: “We affirm and join the call for justice and equity by the Black Lives Matter movement to ensure that Black lives matter as much as any other life. Our faith in Christ challenges us to stand with Mary in her call for justice for the poor, the marginalized, and the oppressed.”
