Twenty-five years later, we remember, we pray and we will never forget.

Today, Archbishop William E. Lori celebrated Mass at the Baltimore Basilica - America's First Cathedral in solemn observance of the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.

We remember all who lost their lives, the families and communities forever changed, and the first responders and others who gave of themselves in service to others.

May we continue to hold them in prayer and entrust them to the mercy of God.

🕊️ Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
