In 2001, St. Ann's Parish of Brooklyn Heights played an important role on Sept. 11th, serving as a haven and emergency safe house for people in need of shelter and care. This year, the parish honors the memories of those who lost their lives, and remembers those who helped New York recover, with Sanctuary Still, an afternoon of the work of Brooklyn's authors, leaders and community members. Musical guests the String Orchestra of Brooklyn, Grace and Spiritus Chorale of Brooklyn, and the St. Ann’s Choir will perform their music for guests.
