A mass shooting occurred at Bondi Beach, Australia, during a “Hanukkah by the Sea” event, leaving at least 15 dead and 40 injured. The attackers, a 50-year-old man and his 24-year-old son, opened fire from a pedestrian footbridge, firing 50 rounds into the crowd. In a life-saving act of bravery, local fruit shop owner Ahmed Al Ahmed tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen. Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney, Tony Percy, shares his message for interfaith harmony in Australia—and around the world—and discusses how the Church can work together to ensure that Sydney remains a place of safety:

Illinois will be the 12th state to pass a law allowing terminally ill patients “end-of-life” options. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law allowing some adults with a terminal illness to take their own lives with medical assistance. It allows terminally ill adults with a six-month or shorter prognosis the option to request a prescription, which they can self-ingest to die on their own terms, from their doctor. The Senate Bill—also known as “Deb’s Law”—will take effect in September 2026. The Catholic Bishops of Illinois strongly oppose this bill and released a statement following Governor Pritzker’s signature, saying in part: “This law ignores the very real failures in access to quality care that drive vulnerable people to despair. It does nothing to ensure patients are offered services, protected from coercion, or surrounded by loved ones when they kill themselves. Even more alarming, by enacting this law, Illinois is endorsing the death option while claiming compassion.”
