 On 9/11, Father Mychal Judge and all those lost are remembered

REMEMBERING A FALLEN HERO Franciscan Father Daniel Grigassy, pastor of St. Bonaventure Parish, leads a graveside service on Sept. 11 for Franciscan Father Mychal Judge in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Totowa, as firefighters and police salute.

On the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks, Franciscan Father Mychal Judge, who served as a New York City Fire Department chaplain and was the first recorded fatality of the Islamists’ terrorist attacks, was remembered at a 9/11 Memorial Service at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery here where he is buried. Father Judge had previously served as pastor of St. Joseph Church in West Milford. A memorial Mass was also held a St. Bonaventure Parish in Paterson before the graveside memorial service. Franciscan Father Daniel Grigassy, pastor of St. Bonaventure, celebrated the Mass and also led the service at the cemetery.

Knights of Columbus Councils 240 and 6574 have hosted the memorial service since 2002, the first anniversary of the attacks. At the service, local parishioners, friends of the fallen chaplain and police officers and firefighters prayed in memory of Father Judge and all victims of 9/11.
