The annual Father Mychal Judge 9/11 Memorial Walk of Remembrance will take place on Sun., Sept. 7. FDNY Chaplain Judge, who rushed to the scene and was asked by then-Mayor Giuliani to pray for the city and its victims, was killed when debris from the collapsed South Tower was hurled into Judge’s North Tower lobby location. The designation “Victim 0001” recognizes Judge as the first official victim of the attacks (his was the first body to be recovered and taken to the coroner). As they do every year, the 10th Precinct Community Council will sponsor an Honor Guard at 19th St. & Seventh Ave., to meet the procession as they stop at the quarters of Chelsea’s Engine 3/Ladder 12/Battalion 7 to honor the firefighters from that house who died in the line of duty on September 11, 2001.
The March is expected to be at 19th St. & Seventh Ave. sometime between 10:30 and 11:15 a.m. It begins at 9 a.m. with a Rosary service followed by a 9:30 a.m. Catholic Mass at St. Francis of Assisi RC Church (135 W. 31st St., btw. Sixth & Seventh Aves.). The walk then proceeds down Seventh Ave., ending at the World Trade Center. For more info, visit facebook.com/911Walk/info.
