Belize National Day: Happy St. George’s Caye Day to the people of Belize! On Sept. 10, we celebrate Belize’s history, culture and national pride. The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth are grateful for our friends and ministry partners in Belize and for the many ways they build stronger communities. May God continue to bless Belize and its people.
Remembering Sept. 11: On the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, we remember the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives, their families, and all whose lives were forever changed. We also remember the first responders and others who came to the aid of those in need. May this day renew our commitment to peace, compassion, and care for one another.
A short prayer vigil will be held at 10:50 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 11, in St. Vincent Church.
