Saint Christina Religious Education and School Students
remember the families affected by the 9-11-01 Tragedy.

On September 11, 2011, the Religious Education teachers, student and parents gathered for a beautiful prayer service at St. Christina Mary Plaza to observe in memory of the 2, 993 people who lost their live in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Untied States. The date happened to fall on September 11, 2011 and this year's observance commemorating the 10th year anniversary of the attacks. Sarah Wilson (5th grade student) ended the prayer service by playing Amazing Grace.

Each child was given a flag which was placed around the perimeter of the rectory as a token of remembrance for all of the victims.

Saint Christina students and faculty also paid tribute to the families who lost loved ones in the tragic event. The ceremony started off with a prayer in the classrooms and then gathered around the flagpole where they joined in saying the Pledge of Allegiance, had a moment of silent prayer and reflection, and then concluded with singing "Proud to be An American". It was a very touching and respectful event.
