Mass, Walk of Remembrance Held on 9/11 Anniversary
Hundreds of Xavier students, staff and family members gathered for the University community's 172nd annual "Spirit Celebration Day," which this year happened to fall on Sunday, Sept. 11. While the "Spirit Celebration" has always been a part of the Jesuit tradition that celebrates the beginning of the academic year, this year's event took on a more somber tone in light of the 10th anniversary of the Twin Towers tragedy. University President Michael J. Graham, S.J., led a noon Mass of the Holy Spirit in the Cintas Center, immediately followed by a "Walk of Remembrance of 9/11." |
