“#VegasStronger week will allow locals and visitors alike to pay their respects and allows time for quiet reflection for all those impacted by this tragedy,” said Deacon Tom Roberts, president and chief executive officer of Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada. “We are eternally grateful for our members of law enforcement, first responders, everyday heroes and members of the Las Vegas community who have all shown what it really means to be #VegasStronger.”
