In this Year of Renewal, we are called to remember with courage, compassion, and faith. Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we gather to honor the lives lost, the communities forever changed, and the clergy and congregations who offered prayer, presence, and care in the days that followed.


This week, St. Paul’s Chapel, St. Thomas Church, and the Cathedral are featured in the BBC’s coverage of the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11. You can listen to their Daily Services here. Bishop Matthew Heyd also delivered a sermon for the BBC4 Sunday Service honoring September 11th this week - you can read a transcript here.


Congregations across the Diocese are holding services of remembrance this week. You can find event listings below and also on our social media accounts. Throughout the week, we're also sharing reflections from faith leaders and community members as we mark 25 years since September 11, 2001. We welcome you to follow along on our Instagram page and share your own reflections as well.


Through prayer, ritual, and reflection, we make space for grief while honoring the compassion and solidarity that emerged from tragedy. We remember. We mourn. And in faith and hope, we move forward together.

At a time when people are losing faith in democracy, this story is more than an inspiration; it’s an example of what is possible. And it’s a lesson that good democratic outcomes require good democratic processes.


Introducing the documentary will be Dr. Carolyn J. Lukensmeyer, the founder of AmericaSpeaks, who was crucial in bringing together 5,000 New Yorkers to discuss the rebuilding of Ground Zero.

Back To School Drive: Safe Passage


Fear should never be the reason for an empty desk


Every year we fill backpacks. This year we’re doing something more.


In July, ICE arrested 175 children in New York City. Fourteen hundred children across New York are facing removal proceedings right now; more than 250 of them are in detention tonight.


  • $40 fills a backpack.
  • $100 fills two and helps a family learn their rights.
  • $250 covers the filing fee the federal government now charges a child to petition for protection.


Your support helps us to meet our goal - 400 backpacks and 20 filing fees by September 15.
