He Didn’t Post a Thing — But What Jordan Love Did for Minneapolis’ Grieving Families Says Everything

Minneapolis, MN – August 28, 2025

Morning prayers turned to chaos on August 27 when gunfire tore through the windows of Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis. Children were gathered for one of their first school masses when the unthinkable happened.

Two young lives, just 8 and 10 years old, were lost instantly. Seventeen others — including 14 children — were rushed to hospitals. Doctors at Hennepin Healthcare reported multiple critical cases, while Children’s Minnesota confirmed they were treating seven victims.

Police identified the shooter as 20-year-old Robin Westman, who entered the church grounds armed with a rifle, pistol, and revolver. He fired into the sanctuary before taking his own life. Authorities called the act “cowardly and deliberate,” aimed at the most innocent.

Mayor Jacob Frey declared, “This wasn’t just a tragedy, it was an attack on children and faith itself.” Governor Tim Walz called it “one of the darkest days in Minnesota’s history.” Amid the grief, one NFL superstar chose not to post a word — but to act.

Rather than social media posts, Love quietly sent donations through official parish and school funds, covering funeral expenses, hospital bills, and therapy services. His support eased immediate burdens for families broken by tragedy.

At the memorial outside the church, flowers with no signature rested among candles and prayers. Staff later confirmed they came from Jordan Love, alongside a handwritten note: “With love, strength, and prayers — JL10.”

Jordan Love also pledged to fund long-term counseling for survivors and grieving parents. His commitment wasn’t about headlines, but about healing — ensuring those scarred by violence had resources to lean on.

Beyond direct relief, Love has partnered with community groups to support safer schools and anti-violence programs. His vision wasn’t publicity but prevention, building futures where children can learn and worship without fear.

Privately, Love visited families at Hennepin Healthcare, sitting quietly, listening, and offering comfort. His presence carried a simple truth: leadership is not only about football, but about showing up when it matters most.

One priest said: “He never asked about cameras, only how he could serve.” For Minneapolis, that humility brought light into one of its darkest weeks.

For Packers fans, Jordan Love’s response reflects why Green Bay entrusts him as the face of the franchise — proving greatness is not just measured in touchdowns, but in compassion when the community hurts.
