Seton Hall Marks 9/11 With Prayer and Remembrances

Seton Hall University will mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11 with prayers. For each of the past ten years, the university has marked the date with a prayer service at the Boland Hall September 11^th Memorial. This year, according to Father Stanley Gomes, Director of Campus Ministry, prayers will be offered for the victims and their families at the 10 a.m., 6 p.m., 8 p.m., and 10 p.m. masses.

 After the 6 p.m. mass, members of the university community will offer a prayer at the Memorial and will place a wreath there.

Earlier that week, the names of SHU alumni who were lost on 9/11 will be read by Monsignor Anthony Kulig during a taping of a message by Dr. A. Gabriel Esteban, University President, to mark the tenth anniversary of 9/11 at the WSOU studio on Wednesday, September 7, 11 a.m. Kuling will also say some additional words during the taping.

The Boland Memorial is a Celtic cross forged from girders salvaged from the World Trade Center. Below the cross are the 14 names, members of the Seton Hall community who died that day.

On Sept. 11, 2001, the Seton Hall community gathered at the University Green to pray. Monsignor Robert Sheeran, then University President, said, “Our faith assures us: God shares our grief – he cries our tears. In this lies our hope for healing, our hope for peace.”
