() One family has decided to spread positivity in Minnesota following the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church, which took the lives of two children during Mass last week.

The Chrostowski family, from Cleveland, Ohio, traveled to Minneapolis to cook pancakes for the community of Pearl Park, near where the shooting occurred.

The Chrostowskis, who are Catholic, were especially moved by the tragedy, given that their two children attend Catholic grade school in Cleveland.

“You gotta do something with that energy. The emotion you feel, you have to do something with it, and I wasn’t just going to sit and stay back in Cleveland, and work the restaurant. I was going to get up here and do something,” Brandon Chrostowski, head chef and owner of Edwin’s Restaurant, told CBS.

Chrostowski and his family, including his 10-year-old son, Leo, and his 8-year-old daughter, Lilly, made the nearly 800-mile trip to help a community reeling from the disaster.

“It felt like the right thing to do ,to help people out and bring them back together,” Leo said.

Chrostowski added he wanted to put his God-given skills to use for the betterment of the community.

“I’m not good at sitting down and doing nothing. I know how to cook,” he said. “… We want to bring people together. It’s not a time to be alone.”

The archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis told “ Prime” on Sunday that prayer for the community is important and appreciated. But he added that prayer should be coupled with action.

He said that could mean coming together “to work with our officials, to work with our legislators, to see how it is that we might be able to diminish that pandemic of arms.”

“What are the vaccines that are going to help us so that other families don’t have to experience … what’s being experienced at Annunciation in Minneapolis?” he asked.
