Invitation:  Two years ago the Healing Field came to the Flight 93 Chapel.  As it happened, the installation of forty American Flags took considerably longer than anyone ever could have guessed.  Luckily, a large group of motor cyclists, about ten or so happened along and offered to help install the flags.  Last year, as good fortune would have it, the same group of bikers, this time numbering about 24 happened to stop by the Chapel on the very day we were preparing to install the flags, and offered again to participate.

            On this Sunday, June seventh, two of their number came by the Chapel and brought four new bikers with them and asked if they could plan to help erect and install the Healing Field.

            I had been thinking about it, but had no idea how to get in touch with these folks, and here they were at the Chapel.  We made some tentative plans to render greater honor to the flags in honor of the Heroes and also to create a ceremony for the installation of the fifty state flags that encircle the Heroes’ plaza.  We expect probably more than 24 will join them this year, and we want to extend the invitation to other bikers and the general public to attend and to participate in what is expected to be an annual Ceremony of the Flags.

            We need: *Traffic and parking controllers.

                            *Forty Flag Bearers for the Healing Field.

                            *Forty Bell Ringers

                            *Fifty Flag Bearers for the Flags of the Fifty States

                            *Hospitality Greeters – Receiving Visitors and orienting them.

If you are able to attend or might attend and can serve in one of these capacities, please email Director@flight93memorialchapel.org or if you are a Biker, let your biker group leader/captain know you are available.

 

Flight 93 Memorial Chapel is a spiritual memorial and perpetual tribute in honor of the Heroes of Flight 93, and all others who perished September 11, 2001. The founder and Director-Curator is Reverend Alphonse T. Mascherino, an ordained Catholic priest for twenty-six years.

The Chapel is a secular non-denominational Chapel, and serves as a spiritual refuge and place of meditation and prayer. The Chapel is open to people of all faiths and is available for individual faith groups to worship together under the direction of their respective religious leaders. Prayer and worship services will be conducted on a regular basis to honor the Heroes who have fallen, to pray for our Nation, our President, public officials and religious leaders. The theme of the Chapel is One Nation Under God. Appropriate ceremonies on national holidays will celebrate the religious diversity of America and the unity of the American people.

The Chapel will present multi-media programs to the public celebrating the Memory of the Heroes of Flight 93, The Spirit of America, and the theme of One Nation Under God. A program of lectures and addresses by professionals in the fields of Religion, Education, Psychology and Public Service will be presented. Chorales, and Concerts by performing groups and visiting Church choirs centered on the theme of the American Spirit, with audience participation are planned in the Chapel and on the Chapel grounds.

The church building was first dedicated in 1902, and is recognized to be one hundred years old. The church was used for services for seventy years. In recent years the building served as a seed warehouse of the Servos Seed Corporation. The building was purchased privately from the Kurt Servos Family in January, 2002 and is currently under reconstruction as the Memorial Chapel.
