We have prepared a recommended Interfaith/Ecumenical service for all who wish to join in this commemoration. Last year, almost one hundred (100) institutions participated, among them many individual churches, synagogues, colleges and schools.

Recommended Interfaith/Ecumenical Service  includes responsive readings and the reading aloud of names of 30 victims of 9/11.  Each participant institution will receive a list containing different names.  In this way, all the 2,996 victims of 9/11 will be remembered throughout the city.

The names of all the victims of 9/11 will also be read on the steps of City Hall on Thursday 9/11.  Starting at 9:15 am, places of worship throughout San Antonio will ring bells and chimes .  This will be followed by the reading of Mayor Phil Harberger's City of San Antonio Proclamation declaring September 11, 2008 to be a "Day of Remembrance" and by a short ceremony led by former Mayor of San Antonio, Henry Cisneros.  Civic and religious leaders as well as students will then start reading the 2996 names of the victims of the World Trade Center, American Airlines  flights 11 and 77, United Airlines flights 175 and 93, of the Pentagon, civilian and military personnel.  The public is invited to attend this ceremony.
