After Mass, there will be a procession to the Chapel where the Banner of Hope will be unveiled.

The Chapel will remain open for 36 hours as a room for quiet reflection, meditation and prayer from Sunday evening until after Monday's candlelight vigil.
If you lost friends or loved ones on 9/11 and would like their names read at the September 11 Interfaith Service, please email the names to Carol-Anne Dabek at dabekc@sacredheart.edu in Campus Ministry.
