On Friday, September 12, 2025, Embrace Our Souls gathered together with members of various Twin Cities communities to honor the students and staff affected the recent tragedy at Annunciation Church and School in Minneapolis. Together with the help of Mess Hall Arts, Mindful Wellbeing, and Frankie's Pizza, guests of the event participated in a mindful trauma reprocessing class with therapists, enjoyed a delicious dinner, and created handmade bracelets with personalized messages of hope to give to Annunciation. KARE 11 was there to film a segment for the evening news.
Embrace Our Souls continues to work hard to fulfill orders for their custom design "Hold the Light," fundraiser in direct support of Annunciation Catholic School and Church. The design was created "to allow us to be reminded that we can rise and come together to hold light for others-to heal, remember and love."
Below is a post from the Embrace Our Souls page on Facebook, where you can find dozens of photos from the event:
"What an incredible night! Thank you to everyone who poured their hearts and time into making this event happen. The power of community is undeniable, and we can’t wait to share your love and encouragement with the staff and students of Annunciation Church."
