Beyond the Rubble: Real Stories of 9/11 with Mike Kelly, author of After Ground Zero
9/9 at 6:30 PM in the Parish Center, Rooms 201/202
Journalist Mike Kelly was across the Hudson River when the two jets crashed into the World Trade Center’s twin towers. His immediate goal was to get to the scene and gather some first-hand reporting to file on deadline. But this was just the first step of a decades-long journey through another kind of rubble, through the pain left behind and the unhealed scars of people’s lives in the wake of a terrorist attack.
25 years after the tragedy that rocked our city to its core, we invite parishioners to join us for a discussion of Mr. Kelly’s book, After Ground Zero. We will reflect on the events of that day and talk through how parishioners reacted, mourned, and found God’s place in the aftermath. We hope your participation will help us better understand how to make sense of tragedies in the world and where we can find Christ’s healing presence in moments of great suffering.
Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to attend by clicking here.
