Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time September 6, 2015 Greetings of Peace. This Friday we remember those who died in 9/11 fourteen years ago. It is the tradition of the Shrine that on that anniversary, outside the building on Arch Street, we hang a banner with the names of those who were killed in that sad event. Many parts of the Shrine are currently getting an update of one kind or another. The computers in the Computer Lab on the second floor are included in that process. These updates will go on for another couple of weeks. That lab will reopen on Wednesday, September 16. We pray for safe travels for the Holy Father as he prepares to visit the United States! Fr.
