ANSONIA - Mayor David S. Cassetti invites residents to Veterans Park next to City Hall this Saturday at 8:30 a.m. for a moment of silence in observance of the 20th year remembrance of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

At 8:46 a.m., the time of plane impact on the World Trade Center north tower in New York City, several local churches will sound their service bells for one minute. Cassetti will deliver remarks after the moment of silence.

Churches participating include Assumption, Holy Rosary, St. Joseph’s, Christ Church, Three Saints, Abundant Life Fellowship Ministries, and Saints Peter and Paul.
