9/11 Keeping Faith, Keeping Freedom

9/11/2001 is a day that has been indelibly marked on the hearts and souls of Americans. It was the day that 2,996 innocent lives were tragically lost, and a nation was unified in sadness and grief. Once again, this year, the Archdiocese of San Antonio joins members of San Antonio's interfaith community for the second annual prayer memorial for the victims September 11, 2001, called "9/11 Keeping Faith, Keeping Freedom". Last year nearly 100 faith communities of various faith traditions participated in their own way, in their own communities, in this remarkable sign of unity in prayer.

Starting on the weekend prior to 9/11, and continuing throughout the actual day, and the weekend following synagogues, churches, mosques and schools will conduct their own prayer services with their individual congregations and student bodies. Each institution will be given the names of 30 victims of 9/11 to read aloud in their respective services so that each will be remembered individually, reminding everyone that 9/11 not only represented a national tragedy, but also a deeply personal tragedy for each individual, their families, friends and communities.


Supporters in the 9/11 Keeping Faith Keeping Freedom observance announce this year's memorial on the steps of San Antonio City Hall.
