💙 Because of compassionate supporters like you, Ninfa found help when retirement costs became more than she could manage.

At Catholic Charities’ Mamie George Community Center, she received help with bills, groceries and hot meals. “I feel seen again,” Ninfa said.

Today, we pause to remember.
Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, we honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of the first responders and all who served in the face of tragedy.

We pray for those who continue to carry the weight of that day. May God grant them comfort, strength and peace, and may we continue to choose compassion, unity and hope.

We will never forget. 🙏
