NORWALK—As our country marked twenty years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, St. Matthew Parish gathered together to remember those who died at the 4 pm Mass, Saturday, Sept. 11.
The 4th-degree members from the St. Matthew Knights of Columbus formed an honor guard with a presentation of the flag of honor containing over 3,000 names, all those who perished in
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The Knights honor guard escorted two young adults/parishioners (Mia Ribellino and Roman Perez) from the Norwalk Public Safety Cadets who unfolded and presented the flag to the congregation after a moment of silence and the playing of taps.
St. Matthew Pastor Father Jeff Couture delivered a heartfelt and poignant homily. “The idea of liberty is given by God,” said Father Jeff. “So we honor all those whose lives were taken, their families, the first responders and those who are still affected—all of us.”
