Pizza with the Pope
Saturday, August 15, at 6:30 PM (after the 5:30 PM Vigil Mass)s
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Fr. Stephen McGraw was a newly ordained priest on his way to a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. He never expected that he would be on the front lines of one of the most defining moments in American history.
Join us for a powerful evening as Fr. McGraw shares his firsthand account of witnessing American Airlines Flight 77 crash into the Pentagon. Positioned just feet away as the plane clipped a light pole over his car, Fr. McGraw will describe the harrowing moments of the impact, the immediate aftermath, and his experience ministering to those escaping the smoke and flames.
Come hear this extraordinary story of faith, providence, and service in the face of tragedy.
Hospitality: Pizza and drinks will be generously provided by the Knights of Columbus
