Mass in Havana’s Cathedral for September 11 victims

HAVANA, December 14 (Carlos Alberto Domínguez, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) - A Mass was held December 11 in Havana’s cathedral in memory of the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11 in New York and Washington.

Cuba’s youngest priest, Father Geovanny Carvajal, 26, officiated at the Mass attended by parishioners, dissidents, and Canadian and Costa Rican tourists.

In his homily, Fr. Carvajal referred to the "sad and tragic events in which thousands lost their lives." He later added, "We have to go forth toward peace, in search of truth and forgiveness."

After the ceremony, Fr. Carvajal asked about the dissidents’ activities, welcomed them to the church and agreed to have his picture taken with them.

Outside the cathedral, several dissidents observed a moment of silence for the dead of the twin towers and the Pentagon.
