Faith Forged in Tragedy | New York City News

A former FDNY lieutenant turned priest, Tom Colucci, has been named an honorary FDNY chaplain—25 years after he stood on Ground Zero during 9/11. That tragedy deepened his faith, leading him to believe in life after death. The honor, paid tribute to the first documented victim, Chaplain Mychal Judge, moved Colucci deeply. Meanwhile, an interfaith service at the rebuilt St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church honored the fallen and reaffirmed New York’s resilience against hatred. As the city observes Rosh Hashanah, Temple Emanu-El is hosting services to remember 9/11 victims and reflect on global and personal challenges—a moving testament to enduring hope and unity.
