Do You Believe In Miracles? Annunciation School Shooting Victim Sophia Forchas Walks Out Of Hospital

Posted • October 26, 2025: Twelve-year-old Sophia Forchas lay in a medically induced coma in the Trauma ICU as her neurosurgeon, Dr. Walt Galicich, stepped up to a podium to provide an update on her condition. 'I'm gonna be blunt,' the doctor said as he addressed the media. 'There's still a chance that Sophia is going to be the third fatality of this event,' he said grimly. Sophie remained in critical condition, but there was hope, signs, albeit small, that Sophie still had a chance to recover from a devastating gunshot wound. She was still fighting to survive. Just ten days earlier, Sophia was shot in the head by a crazed transgender lunatic, who had decided to cowardly take out his life's frustrations on innocent school children as they sat in church at a back-to-school mass at the Annunciation Catholic Parish in Minneapolis. Dr. Galicich went on to explain Sophia's condition when she arrived in his OR, saying, 'If you had told me at this juncture, ten days later, that we would be standing here with any ray of hope, I would have said it would take a miracle.'

MN Neurosurgeon: If you had told me 10 days ago that Sophia Forchas would still be here with any ray of hope, I'd have told you it would take a miracle. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1964035843791966208/vid/avc1/3840x2110/7OcUTQfc9ljZEyKg.mp4 —— Sophie's parents asked for prayers, an idea mocked by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Despite the mayor's descent, people prayed, and those prayers were answered. Just a few weeks later, after spending over a month in intensive care, Sophia was moved into rehab. The road to recovery would be long, but Sophia was on it; her survival was indeed a miracle. God had embraced Sophia. Her survival had been miraculous, and her recovery would be no less so. Yes, she had survived, but the bullet that was still lodged in her brain had caused significant damage. She had also suffered a stroke. No one knew what her recovery would look like. She faced the possibility of having irreparable disabilities. Young Sophia needed another miracle.

Another miracle was delivered. This week, just a few days before her thirteenth birthday, Sophia walked out of the hospital. She had a few stops to make on her way home. First, she stopped to see Dr. Galicich and the hospital staff who had taken such good care of her. —— People cheer for Annunciation Catholic Church shooting survivor Sophia Forchas, who has been released from the hospital.
