Today is September 11. The nineteenth anniversary of a day that many will remember very vividly what they were doing at the time they heard of the attacks in New York City, the Pentagon, and in the skies over the Pennsylvania countryside. Families of 2, 996 individuals were forever changed on that day as their loved ones perished. Take a few moments today to offer a few prayers for the repose the souls for the deceased, the loved ones they left behind and for peace in our world.
Confessionswill be offered Saturday, Sept 12, 1 pm (2 priests) and Wednesday, September 16, 5 pm (1 priest) in the Main Church.
