My Dear Parish Family:

Wednesday we remember the eighteenth anniversary of that terrible day in our Nation’s history, September 11, 2001.

We continue to pray for all those who were lost on that day and we pray for the families and friends of those who lost a loved one on 9/11.

We also pray for those who are still affected by that day - those who are sick, those who con- tinue to struggle mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Our prayers are with all of you and, as we remember the 9/11 attacks on our country, we also thank God for our first responders and all who serve us each day as police, firefighters, ambulance personnel, as well as our servicemen and women.

Thank you and please be assured, we at St. Benedict’s Parish ...

WILL NEVER FORGET!

St. Benedict, pray for us. Servant of God, Cardinal Cooke, pray for us.

Fr. Stephen P. Norton
