Dear PARA Member,
The traditional Port Authority Interfaith Remembrance Service honoring our colleagues who died on September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993, will take place this year at 2:00PM (per usual) on September 11. Please note that it will be moved from inside St. Peter's Church on Barclay Street, due to Covid-19 concerns, to a tent on the WTC Memorial Plaza, at Church and Fulton streets, just north of the Oculus.
If you would like to attend in person, you will need to register ahead, using this form. If you cannot locate or remember your Port Authority ID number (a required field on the form), you may use 00000 (numerals) instead. Seating will be limited, on a first-come, first-served basis. All attendees will need to wear masks. Attendees may begin checking in with security guards (who will have the list of people who pre-registered) at 1:30PM. There will be heightened security around the perimeter, so if you plan to park, allow extra time for that.
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum organizes the reading of the names by family members, in-person. This ceremony, exclusively for family members, begins at 8:30AM. Look for coverage on most major news stations, as well as livestreamed at the Museum's website.
If you have any questions about the September 11 program not answered by this email, you may contact Kirsten Hernandez at kihernandez@panynj.gov.
Sincerely,
Your PARA Board
