WHAT: |
September 11 Memorial Dedication Ceremony.
A new September 11th memorial in Holy Rood Cemetery
honoring the memory those who lost their lives on that
day will be dedicated by the Most Reverend William
Murphy, S.T.D., L.H.D., Bishop of the Diocese of
Rockville Centre.
The memorial is comprised of two features: the first is
an exact bronze replica of Michelangelo’s Pieta, behind
which is a twelve-foot high black granite
cruciform-wall, on which is inscribed over four hundred
names, placed at the request of family members. This was
done at no cost to the families; over 1200 individuals,
businesses and organizations have donated toward this
project.
The blessing will take place immediately after the All
Souls Day Mass, a day the Church sets aside to pray for
the dead.
