REQUEST FOR PRAYERS

 

    Our prayers are being requested for the following members, or their family members.

 

Let us never forget all those souls lost on September 11, 2001 in NY, PA and Washington, especially our fallen NYPD brothers who gave their lives so selflessly.

 

Let us keep all those men and women serving in our armed forces around the world in our thoughts and prayers, especially those assigned to ESU who have been called to active duty.

 

Deceased

 

Prayers are requested for all those recently departed.

May they rest in peace.
