Upstate New York parish raising funds for statue of gay ‘9/11 saint’
Like most Americans, Brother Edmund Dwyer was stunned by early
coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington,
D.C.
As he struggled to grasp the scope of the carnage, scrolling
type along the bottom of his television screen announced the death of
Mychal Judge, a legendary New York City fire department chaplain.
For
Dwyer, the vast tragedy became painfully real. "He was a saint," said
Dwyer, 90, a retired Brother of the Christian Schools who resides at
Christian Brothers Academy in DeWitt, New York.
