The Pennsylvania Office of Homeland Security and partners cordially invite you to   
attend the third quarterly event of our virtual learning series on 
Monday, September 30, 2024.   In this segment of our series, we will be conducting a panel discussion between faith leaders who have been the unfortunate victims of gun violence along with public officials who are experts in the field of public safety.

Panelists:

Surviving the worst anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history, Rabbi Myers addresses the responsibility of houses of worship to provide a balance between being open and welcoming, yet safe and secure.

Reverend Brenda Gregg – Destiny of Faith Church, Pittsburgh, PA
In October 2022, the Destiny of Faith Church was the site of a mass shooting when 
two teenagers opened fire during a funeral and six individuals were injured.
