Remember September 11, 2001

As we honor the anniversary of September 11, 2001 we join together with parishes, Catholic schools, Christian communities, adults and children of all ages from across the country to remember the tragic events of that fateful morning and to respond in prayer. We pray for those who lost their lives, for their families and the many policemen, firefighters, and healthcare workers who assisted in caring for thousands of people. We pray that as Catholics we draw on our faith to make this day a time to remember, a time to deepen our commitment to discipleship, and a time to strengthen our active participation in efforts to build a more just and peaceful world.  Amen
