BC TO HONOR 9-11 VICTIMS WITH LABYRINTH DEDICATION
Boston College will pay tribute to its 22 alumni killed in the terrorist attacks of September 11 with the dedication of a memorial labyrinth on the lawn of Burns Library on Thursday September 11, 2003.
The labyrinth dedication, which will begin at noon, will include reflections by University President William P. Leahy, SJ, the blessing of the labyrinth, and music by BC student groups.
Family members of the 22 deceased alumni will be present for the ceremony.
Inspired by the labyrinth on the floor of the Cathedral of Chatres in France, the labyrinth will honor the victims of 9-11 by providing a permanent memorial within a space designated for prayer, reflection and meditation.
The names of the 22 alumni, which will be read at the dedication by BC students, will be inscribed in stones along the labyrinth¹s outer ring.
All BC students and faculty are welcome to attend the dedication ceremony.
