St. Malachy Church issued the following announcement on Sept. 11.

We remember the lives of those lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001: first responders, tourists, and office workers; fathers, mothers, sons and daughters; men and women of different races and ethnicities. We pray for the families who continue to grieve - the ones who certainly will NEVER FORGET what happened that day.

"How is it possible to commit acts of such savage cruelty? The human heart has depths from which schemes of unheard-of ferocity sometimes emerge, capable of destroying in a moment the normal daily life of a people. But faith comes to our aid at these times when words seem to fail. Christ’s word is the only one that can give a response to the questions which trouble our spirit. Even if the forces of darkness appear to prevail, those who believe in God know that evil and death do not have the final say. Christian hope is based on this truth; at this time our prayerful trust draws strength from it."

- Pope St. John Paul II
