Dear Friends,

We have gathered today to remember – to re-connect to those we loved and lost on September Eleventh. The Saint Nicholas National Shrine is grateful to welcome and embrace all of you, and the roles and traditions that you proudly display and observe. For this Shrine, the resurrected and rebuilt House of God that once humbly graced Cedar Street and was destroyed on 9/11, is a place and indeed, a palace, of memory for all.
