University community commemorates
and prays on 9/11

Dennis Gallagher, dean of Campus Ministry, led a prayer service at the Peace Pole.
The Winona campus may seem far from New York, but on 9/11 the campus community’s heart and spirit were united with Americans across the country in remembering the victims of the 9/11/2001 tragedy and their families, and joined with millions in praying for peace. Dennis Gallagher, dean of Campus Ministry, led a prayer service on Sunday morning with the university community gathered around the Peace Pole. Whether in New York or in Winona on 9/11/2001, one could not help but be moved by the sight of the 3,000 American flags distributed around the Peace Pole, a flag for each victim of the 9/11 tragedy. "Let there be peace on earth."
