• Sep 29, 2017

Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise, the House majority whip, said he started to pray after being shot on June 14 at a practice for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. “I will tell you, it gave me an unbelievable sense of calm knowing that at that point it was in God’s hands,” he said. Scalise and his family are parishioners at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Metairie.
