A century of history, prayers, and community service reduced to ashes. 

Our hearts are heavy for our neighbours in Saint-Romain, Quebec, who lost their historic church to a devastating fire this week. For nearly 100 years, this sanctuary was a pillar of the community, a place of refuge and connection for generations.⁠

AVI stands in unyielding solidarity with our Christian allies in this moment of grief. We unequivocally condemn this act of destruction. A loss for one faith community is a loss for us all.
