Mass Of Remembrance Set For September 11

  BRIDGEPORT — Bishop William E. Lori will celebrate a special Mass of Remembrance on the second anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on Thursday, September 11, at noon at St Augustine Cathedral. Gov John Rowland will be among those in attendance.

Last year, on the first anniversary of September 11, the cathedral was filled to capacity for the Remembrance Mass. On that day, Bishop Lori called for healing and peace.

“Filled with the light and truth of the Gospel, we commend to the Lord of life and love those who died, whether as innocent victims or as rescue workers,” said Bishop Lori in his homily on September 11, 2002. “Resolute in our faith and in the principles of justice, may we love our country and help it to be a force for peace and justice around the world.”

The Mass is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.
