Who We Are
We are "The
9/11 Keeping Faith, Keeping Freedom Committee”
of San
Antonio, Texas
We are civic and religious
leaders coming together to:
- Honor the memory of the victims of
9/11
- Strengthen
America’s faith in a God of love,
justice and mercy
- Sanctify
life
- Celebrate freedom
Our Committee
invites
all religious leaders from all
faiths to join us by holding special services the weekend before 9/11, on Thursday, 9/11 or the
weekend after 9/11 at their places of worship. 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.
To request a
list of victims of 9/11, please send an email to: info@911keepingfaithkeepingfreedom.org.
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.
