About this event
For the 20th anniversary of 9/11, NYC faith leaders are joining hands and prayers while walking together in commemorating unity and peace building.
On Thursday, September 9th, we will walk to 5 houses of worship in Midtown East. We will begin our interfaith peace walk at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, then we will walk over to Central Synagogue. From there, we will walk to The Islamic Society of Mid-Manhattan and then walk over to a Hope Church Midtown. Finally, we will end our walk at the Manhattan Sikh Center. See map below for walking route.
We will stop briefly at each of the houses of worship for prayers, welcomes and short speeches from faith leaders and more. Join us in this walk of solidarity against injustice, hate and discrimination.
Our event will begin at 5pm outside of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Please meet us there.
We ask that everyone please wear a mask to ensure all of our safety. We will have masks available.
