On The Anniversary of 9/11...

This September marks the 12th anniversary since the infamous terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers.

In the morning of September 11, 2001, two large airliners piloted by terrorists flew into the Twin Towers in New York City, one after the other. After burning for about an hour, each of the towers collapsed, killing thousands of people. This month and particularly the 11th we remember the souls of all those who have died in the attack, and those who died trying to save others in the mayhem.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has a page on their website to commemorate the lives lost 12 years ago. It also includes stories of brave firefighters and police officers who responded to the attack on the towers. Please visit the USCCB's website here http://usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and-dignity/september-11/index.cfm to view liturgical readings, reflections, and true stories about survivors. As faithful Catholics we should remember the souls of those who died in our prayers.
