9/11 memorial services/benefits in NYC
Does anyone happen to know of where I could find a listing of 9/11 services or benefit events this year? I can't seem to find any, not sure if a centralized listing even exists. Any help would be appreciated!

1. If you're in NJ, shoot me a PM if you want to visit the grave of Fr. Mychal Judge
of 9-11. The brothers from his last NJ parish go there in the morning to offer prayers for him.

Here's a sampling of the first few listed:

September 11, 2009 marks the eight-year anniversary of 9/11. There will be several memorial events in the New York City area to honor and remember the victims of September 11th and to come together as a community.

2009 September 11 Memorial Events in New York City

* World Trade Center Site Memorial Ceremony and Remembrance 2009
The official New York City observance of the anniversary of 9/11 will take place at the World Trade Center site on the morning of Friday, September 11th, 2009. In honor of the new federal designation of September 11th as a National Day of Service and Remembrance, family members will read the names of all 2,751 victims aloud. Each family member will be paired with a volunteer from the five boroughs who will represent the spirit of compassion and giving that unified New York City in the weeks and months following the tragedy.

As always, four moments of silence will be observed to commemorate the times when each plane hit and each tower fell. At sunset, the famous "Tribute in Light" will return to the skies above New York City for the night.

Friday, September 11, 2009. 8:40AM-12:30PM.
Zuccotti Park, Liberty Street between Broadway and Church Streets
Call 212-442-8953 for more information.

* The September Concerts
