Adrian Dominican Sisters Denounce Bomb Threats at Historically Black Colleges and Universities

February 2, 2022, Adrian, Michigan – The General Council of the Adrian Dominican Sisters issued the following statement in response to a series of bomb threats against historically Black colleges and universities.

We are horrified by the series of bomb threats that have closed down historically Black colleges and universities during the past month, including 16 yesterday, the first day of Black History Month. Although no bombs have been found, these terrifying and disruptive threats of violence against innocent students, faculty and staff are an assault against the foundational freedoms of our democracy – and a threat to us all. 

As women of faith, we stand in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters at these iconic educational institutions, and call for a thorough investigation and prosecution of these despicable hate crimes. We pray that God’s loving care and protection surround and safeguard them against all harm, and for the conversion of all whose hearts are poisoned by hatred. 

Members of the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ General Council are Sisters Patricia Siemen, OP, Prioress; Mary Margaret Pachucki, OP, Vicaress and General Councilor; Frances Nadolny, OP, Administrator and General Councilor; and Patricia Harvat, OP, and Elise D. García, OP, General Councilors.
