We bid a heartfelt farewell to our beloved Police Chaplain, Reverend Dr. Bessie Mohead, after 20 years of faithful service.

From her earnest words of encouragement during our annual memorial services to her inspiring messages at our swearing-in and promotion ceremonies, “Pastor Mo” has been a steady presence and a source of light for all of us here at the Police Department.

Her compassion, guidance, and unwavering support have brought strength and comfort to our officers and community alike. We are deeply grateful for her two decades of dedicated service and wish her joy and peace in this next chapter of her journey.

Our hearts are heavy as we hold the city of Minneapolis in prayer. In just the last 24 hours, four lives have been taken by deadly shootings, including the tragedy at Annunciation Catholic School. We extend our deepest compassion to the families grieving unimaginable loss, to the students and faculty shaken by fear, and to the community now carrying fresh wounds of violence.

At The Well, we pause to remember that healing is not only personal but also collective. We pray for peace to rest over the city, for courage and strength to sustain our neighbors, and for protection over all who serve on the frontlines as first responders.
