Catholic Intelligence1 min read

In brief

Archbishop Ronald A. Hicks celebrated a vigil memorial Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Sept. 10 to honor the victims of the terrorist attacks that occurred 25 years ago. The service was the first September 11 memorial Mass for Hicks since he became the archbishop of New York.

During his homily, Hicks said that faith requires more than just remembrance. He stated that people must work for peace, healing, justice, and unity rather than expecting them to happen automatically.

The congregation included former President Joe Biden, New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
