Pax Christi of Southwestern Michigan is hosting a service of remembrance and reflection to mark the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks; honor those who died; and reflect on the healing that is necessary to overcome these acts of violence.
The service will be Sunday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. at the Riverfront Park Amphitheater, Niles, where Pax Christi will gather to remember, reflect and to seek healing and a new and nonviolent direction in dealing with those we call enemies. All people are welcome.
